Intersubjectivity: Conceptual Considerations in Meaning-Making With a Clinical Illustration

This manuscript explores intersubjectivity through a conceptual construct for meaning-making that emphasizes three major interrelated elements–meaning making in interaction, making meaning with the body as well as the mind, and meaning making within an open dynamic system. These three elements are present in the literature on intersubjectivity with a wide range of terms used to describe various theoretical formulations. One objective of this manuscript is to illustrate how such a construct can be useful to understand the meaning-making observed in psychoanalysis, such as in the treatment of a young child on the autistic spectrum. The challenges in establishing an intersubjective state with a child on the autistic spectrum serve to highlight important features of intersubjectivity. As an important background to this clinical illustration, we illustrate the construct with the scientific paradigm of the well-known face-to-face still-face.

Classification of Autistic Spectrum Disorder Using Deep Neural Network With Particle Swarm Optimization

In this paper, Feature Selection Technique (FST) namely Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has been used. The filter based PSO is a search method with Correlation-based Feature Selection (CBFS) as a fitness function. The FST has two key goals of improving classification efficiency and reducing feature counts. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Based Multilayer Perceptron Network (MLP) and Deep Learning (DL) have been considered the classification methods on 2 benchmark Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) dataset. The experimental result was compared to the non-reduced features and reduced feature of ASD datasets. The reduced feature give up enhanced results in both classifiers MLP and DL. In addition, an experimental study on the exhibitions of these methodologies has been conducted. Finally, a new trend of PSO-MLP and PSO-DL based classification model is proposed.

Autistic Spectrum Disorder and Current Laws in Brazil

The objective of the work was to analyze the autistic spectrum disorder and the current laws in Brazil. In addition to the concept of TEA, a special law composed of a total of 8 (eight) articles establishes the inherent rights of these people, and in its 2nd article, establishes guidelines for national policies, including the intersectoriality of service actions of development; community participation; comprehensive attention to the needs of autistic patients, etc. The type of study is a systematic review, research of this type has the primary objective of exposing the attributes of a given phenomenon or statement among its variables. Thus, it is recommended that it presents characteristics such as: analyzing the atmosphere as a direct source of data and the researcher as a switch instrument; not to broker the use of statistical artifices and methods, having as a greater apprehension the interpretation of phenomena and the imputation of results, the method should be the main focus for the approach and not the result or the fruit, the appreciation of the data should be achieved from intuitively and inductively through the researcher
