Abstract

This text makes a psychoanalytic analysis of Temple Grandin's autobiographical text "Emergence: labeled autistic", to theorize about autism, the difference between the Lacanian concepts of lalangue and language, the concept of forclussion of the hole, and the concept of “thinking in images", a characteristic of several autists. It also locates the difference between high-level autism and severe autism based on how they manage to enter the language or are detained in their relation to lalangue.
