Possibility-Mindset
Possibility has always been a big driving force of the more positive aspects of my life (Hari-As-Possibility), so it had inspired a series of poems written over the years. Here is one.
Possibility Mindset
A possibility-mindset is key
Unlocking doors, sight unseen
A fuel that drives us to believe
Anything is possible
We conceive not just perceive
…. travel those possibilities into doors of opportunity
Possibility Mindset…
….the spark that ignites our passion
… the fire that burns within
It's the courage to
… take a stand
… strength to begin
…..chase our dreams
And find success in the things we seek
With a possibility mindset, there's nothing
That we can't achieve it seems
Joy is the peace that comes from forgiveness and letting go of grudges

Snow Flurry
Ice from the clouds, in a frozen rain
A snow flurry falls, with a icy refrain
Pebbles of spray, scatter with a sound
On the ground, they patter all around.
To college I must still go
LASR lab awaits me, with experiments to unfold
EEG and sMRI, knowledge to behold

Joy is the curiosity that comes with learning and growth

These are thoughts I've been mulling over for a while now and have been slowly writing up.
Overriding consideration: Cost, Accessibility, Portable, User-friendly and helps our communication & functioning in society.
How can AI help? Some thoughts.

Stimulus Value Gates Multisensory Integration
[Concepts in Sensorimotor Research]
Application to Autism.
The advantage of a good filtering system is less getting overwhelmed by your sensory environment in the real world, but the disadvantage was that you could lose out on critical information. This almost automatic value-based filtering ability is, I think, an issue many autistics like me struggle with. But even with extensive experience, value-based filters could vary around task domain, context-specific or even things like predictability. Which is still, i think, why we still face challenges in trying to understand what exactly is going on in the non-neurotypical populations.

Joy is the comfort that comes with being surrounded by loved ones

Historic gains in disabled employment during the pandemic.
"The increase in work-from-home arrangements and greater flexibility in work hours seen during the height of the pandemic may have permanently opened new employment opportunities for people with disabilities"
The question is how do we sustain the gain in employment seen during the pandemic due to hybrid work.
Joy is the sense of awe that comes with witnessing the miraculous

A Dual Pronged Approach to Autism
I believe a dual pronged approach is needed for autism and both approaches can & needs to co-exist for many autistics. I have a leg in both groups and I need help on both. Its not an either-or.
