Our Mission

Every talented person in history who has been on the autism spectrum fostered their talents because someone mentored them from an early age. When a child is diagnosed with autism at 1.5 years of age - they have an eighteen-month-long window until they are three years old to achieve ‘escape velocity’ in their treatment. If they do not achieve a certain level of function within this window of time - they are highly unlikely to achieve independence within their lifetime.

In addition to timing, there is another critical element of effective autism therapy – personalization. Every person on the autism spectrum shows some focus on certain skills. Temple Grandin, arguably the most famous person with autism in the world, wrote her book called ‘Thinking in Pictures’ to describe how her brain visualizes nearly everything. There’s an autistic man named Steven Wiltshire, who can fly over Manhattan for 20 minutes in a helicopter, then can paint the Manhattan Skyline with remarkable precision, There are children with autism who can play a song with perfect pitch after hearing it only once. My own brother, Jim, can take you block-by-block from downtown Saint Louis to out in the suburbs from his memory — telling you exactly what streets to turn on with a perfect understanding of the city’s map in his head. It is truly remarkable.

During the critical time window, 1.5 – 3 years old, the most effective way to test which learning styles best engage the child is brain scanning. Your technology developed by Kernel is uniquely positioned to provide this data which is a sorely missing piece of the autism puzzle.

We take a ground-up approach to teaching people based on their innate learning styles. In the 1960s, K-12 Education in the USA had students filling out “A-D Bubble Tests” to tell them which career paths they might want to pursue: “Plumber, Electrician, etc.” based on their answers to standardized questions. We can so much better with the same scope and better technology.

We do everything in our power to optimize this mission-critical window of time, for those with Autism and also without, to bring a child’s level of functioning not only up-to-par, but far beyond it. We empower children by detecting 'splinter skills', or sources of extraordinary talent, from an early age, and engaging them in their passions from day one.

With Brain enabled tests and exercises, we can begin to inventory a child’s skill set, interests, areas of talent, and styles of learning. For example, if we can determine if a child is an auditory, or visual learner from an early age, we can then tailor their education program to suit, as a visual or spoken-word based program and we can supercharge this child’s capacity to learn from an early age. By using EEG brain scanning to determine if a child is interested in an activity or not, we can then determine if a child is engaged and focused. We can develop an understanding of this child’s interests by collecting and examining this data.

1 in 44 children born today have some level of autism. Yet the way we are treating the condition has barely changed for twenty years.
