This article aims to account collectively for the singularity of this team work, initiated a year ago within the ASD Minute Papillon. (A part-time therapeutic activity centre) In course of the text the authors present the contours of the project of treatment oriented towards the sensory-motor, artistic and cultural care of children with ASD, within a multi-disciplinary health team. After evoking the references that inspired this “playful and multi-whimsical” CATTP, several clinical vignettes are presented, giving tangibility to the complexity of the treatment process of the children in care and also to the necessity of creating treatment measures suitable for navigating within this complexity, while reintroducing play and capacities for psychic linking undermined by the intensity of the disorders of these children. Finally, the authors give the example of a dance project, with the perspectives it offers on creative, multidisciplinary team work with the families of children with ASD and Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)
