A Neuro-Cognitive and Quantum-Inspired Framework for Autism Support: Early Evidence from AI-Augmented Family-Based Intervention
Abstract
Author Background & Methodological Authority The StarHealing framework and QII methodology were developed by Sarah (Yujia) Wang, whose career represents a unique synthesis of rigorous mathematical logic, AI systems, and systemic social support: Academic Foundation: Admitted to Peking University’s Mathematics program via waiver (Baosong) following a National Physics Competition award. Tech Industry Leadership: Former Tech Lead at Facebook (Meta) AI and the Founding Data Scientist of the Psychological Pillar at TikTok, specializing in high-dimensional neurocognitive modeling and mental health analytics. Systemic Community Leadership: Extensive experience as a Christian Community Leader, where she utilized coherence-based approaches to facilitate emotional regulation and social reconciliation within complex human systems. Abstract Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) remains one of the most complex challenges in neurocognitive science. Traditional behavioral approaches often fail to sustain progress in emotional regulation and systemic family coherence. This study presents early findings from StarHealing, an AI-augmented, neurocognitive framework that integrates personalized developmental analysis with the author’s patented methodology, Quantum Inspired Intervention (QII). The QII model treats emotion and cognition as dynamically coupled processes, applying principles of coherence and resonance to restore balance and adaptive growth within the child-family system. Key Findings from Stage 1 Pilot In this Stage 1 pilot study involving four families: 100% Success Rate among completers: All three families who completed the full program demonstrated clear, consistent improvements across emotional regulation, social communication, and family well-being. Measurable Progress: Quantitative results showed significant reductions in repetitive behaviors and marked increases in the Family Happiness Index (FHI). Empirical Evidence: These results provide preliminary evidence that QII functions as a neurocognitive mechanism for coherence-based regulation. Status: Patent Being Filed (Wang, 2025)
