Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : Autistic spectrum disorders are so complex that many levels of partial understanding have been proposed since their description by Leo Kanner and Hans Asperger. Psychoanalytic understanding of autistic people’s subjectivity is illuminated by recent results of experimental studies on cognitive functions on which the concept of “social brain,” which we shall discuss in detail, is based. Crossing these two approaches shows that impairments in building the register of the Imaginary, as well as its link to the psychic structure, are central and specific in different forms of autism.
