BERNARDINO, Leda Mariza Fischer. The importance of writing in the autism clinic. []. , 20, 3, pp.504-519. ISSN 1415-7128.  https://doi.org/10.11606/issn.1981-1624.v20i3p504-519.

The following up of children with autism can indicate a direct relation with the symbolic field by the cognitive pathway, sometimes very developed, other times idiosyncratic. Therefore, we can find a situation in which, differently of what is seen in children with the so called standard development, it is by the writing and by literacy that the child with autism begins to communicate with other people. According to Lacan, the writing goes first in relation to speech, and we intend to identify through concepts like letter, signifier and enjoyment a possible understanding of this enigmatic universe of the autism to bring contributions to the direction of treatment of these children.
