2. PSYCHOLOGICAL ROOTS OF LANGUAGE
The autistic and the artistic facets
of the mind may empower each other in enriching the self and an ever-changing environment.
The innocence of autistics and of our autistic facet is driven by Classical Computing (CC), whereas our artistic facet is guided by Quantum Computing (QC)

Grammar/Semantics is based on Classical Computing (CC), whereas Discourse Pragmatics is based on Quantum Computing (QC).
Within the logos heuristics, the combination of Classical Computing and Quantum Computing enriches the spontaneous dialogues of the persons that do not suffer from autism.
3. CORRELATES OF THOUGHT

3. CORRELATES OF THOUGHT
This workshop shows:
- the neurobiological correlates of Classical Computing (CC), spared in the cerebral cortex of autistic newborns and
- the correlates of Quantum Computing, impaired in the cerebellum and brainstem of autistic individuals.
4. LOGOS IN THE ARTS
5. THEORY-OF-EVERYTHING
3. CORRELATES OF THOUGHT
In this workshop, the logos heuristics is applied to re-interpret central masterpieces of the literature. For example, Homer's Iliad and Odyssey; Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa; Xenophon's Drawback of the Ten Thousand; Shakespeare's Hamlet and his Merchant of Venice.
Participants' requests to re-interpret a particular masterpiece will be considered.

5. THEORY-OF-EVERYTHING
The embrace of certainty and ambiguity in Schrödinger's cat makes nature's Nature.
The principles of Classical Computing and the principles of Quantum Computing parallel the principles advanced in classical physics and quantum physics.
6. SPIRITUALITY
5. THEORY-OF-EVERYTHING
5. THEORY-OF-EVERYTHING
There is a common ground to Jewish, Christian, Islamic, Chinese, Hindu, and Mesoamerican spiritual beliefs.
The logos heuristics enhances the reading of any Sacred Text.
7. SOCIAL VALUES
9. THE TEACHINGS OF DON JUAN
8. CLIMATE CHANGE
Values appreciated by the assistants are compared to values highlighted in Sacred Texts, and the ones generated by the use of the logos heuristics.
The workshop aims at explaining why:
1. faith (first attention),
2. hope (second attention), and
3. charity (Third Attention)
enclose most social values.

The analysis of the relationship among key variables of climate change on Earth is extended to:
- the emission into Earth's atmosphere of methane clathrates;
- the release of hydrogen sulfide from the bottom of the sea;
- the poisoning of the biota; and
- the destruction of the Ozone Shield.

9. THE TEACHINGS OF DON JUAN
A quantum interpretation of Carlos Castaneda's writings on the "Teachings of Don Juan" suggests that Sages among the Olmecs, Maya, Toltecs, and Aztecs knew about:
1. The classical rigidity of the routines appreciated by the Tonal-Coatl, which rejects the crazy propositions of the Quetzal;
2. the flexible coherence of the devilish Quetzalcoatl-Nagual that faces a problem; and
3. the de-coherence of the social return of the Quetzalcoatl-Eagle.
10. SOLVING A CRUCIAL PROBLEM
Antonio Cassella will work with you one day on your problem.
As a memento of humans' ability to solve crucial problems, Moses placed in the Ark of the Covenant two crystals: Thummim and Urim. Thummim (or the crook) represents arrived at knowledge, whereas Urim (or the flail) represents the opportunities hidden in the world of the unknown.
We will solve a crucial problem only if we cross the Crook with the Flail, the Thummim with the Urim, the known with the unknown, and science with dreams of Progress.
HOW TO ORGANIZE A WORKSHOP
BASIC COST
The cost of any half-a-day workshop (extendable to one day at no additional cost) is set at 100.00 US$ per participant . Any interested individual will be admitted to a planned event upon approval by the organizing entity and the payment of 50.00 US$ in his or her name to Research Autism LLC through the donation button of this website. The balance can paid to Research Autism LLC at completion. A minimum of 8 and a maximum of 20 attendants per workshop is required. Five workshops and one week make the maximum effort and span of time to be considered.
If a digital workshop is chosen (through Google), the cost is 50 US$ per participant. There are no additional expenses in that case.
ADDITIONAL EXPENSES
The cost of the taxi to and from the town of residence of Antonio Cassella and Verona's airport in Italy is set at 200.00 US$. Round trip by electronic ticket in Economy class or above from Verona's airport (Italy), food, lodging, transportation in the country and city in which the workshop will take place, and local taxes are on the participants.
