Función del lazo con el Otro en el autismo : el caso de Temple Grandin. Un abordaje desde la teoría psicoanalítica.

Abstract

The present research work has been carried out from a psychoanalytic perspective, in which one of the ways in which the function of the bond with the Other operates within autism is emphasized, based on the bibliographic review of the contents that revolve around this field, with the sole purpose of being able to identify the incidence of the bond with the Other in a person with autism. Certainly, autism in the environment has become a signifier that names society, since in the face of the appearance of symptoms such as isolation or the non-existence of the bond with the Other, hasty diagnoses appear, taken by the social discourse that immediately attribute autism to it, autism name. In this instance, what psychoanalysis seeks is to locate autism as that which is outside abnormality, that is, it does not consider it as a disease, but rather takes it as a singular subjective position in each individual. Through psychoanalytic conceptualization, theoretical tools were found that have allowed us to analyze the case of Temple Grandin, in which we highlight that the invention, the position taken by the Other, and the object with which the person with autism can relate, they are a means to be able to create a bond with the Other, and in turn have a better way of creating relationships with the world.
