El autismo en la actualidad : una lectura teórica y clínica de los arreglos singulares desde el psicoanálisis Lacaniano.

Abstract

The current study aims to analyze the concept of autism in contemporary contexts through a theoretical approach and the analysis of cases involving autistic subjects, with the purpose of identifying their singular arrangements from the perspective of Lacanian psychoanalysis. This research gains relevance by emphasizing the importance of creating spaces that welcome the inventions of those who accompany the autistic subject in their daily life, such as parents, caregivers, and educators. The inclusion of these actors makes it possible to acknowledge their own subjectivities and, consequently, the development of singular arrangements that may support the treatment of the autistic subject and the expansion of their neo-border. This study was conducted using a qualitative approach, employing tools such as literature review and the analysis of clinical case studies involving autistic subjects. These resources made it possible to recognize that providing spaces of listening to the inventions of those who accompany the autistic subject enables parents to authorize themselves in their own knowledge, while allowing educators not to retreat from their desire to accompany the autistic subject, opening themselves to new experiences. Finally, the study highlights the importance of the analyst distancing themselves from the position of the specialist in order to allow the circulation of the words of parents, caregivers, and educators—their knowledge, singular arrangements, questions, findings, encounters with the autistic subject, and even impasses. In this way, not only is the autistic subject supported in their constructions, but also those who surround them.
