When the inscription of the symbolic dimension of language does not occur effectively, the child must find unique solutions to structure reality, his body and the objects of drives that unfold between need, demand and desire. The "treatment" that some children undertake in relation to their body, to the objects of drive and to the Other in this attempt to organise their world - often strange, paradoxical, repetitive and incomprehensible - give shape to the notion of autism. The operation of psychoanalysis on the writing of the symptom consists in reading the way in which each subject elaborates a small circuit or chain that establishes a defensive montage in the light of an articulation between body, objects and language that becomes the support of an action not subjected to symbolic interlocution nor dominated by imaginary reciprocity, inventing together with the subject a way of functioning on the side of life and desire.
