OLIVEIRA, Lucimar Brandão de. The mothers desire since the diagnosis of autism. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2019, vol.25, n.3, pp.1287-1300. ISSN 1677-1168. https://doi.org/10.5752/P.1677-1168.2019v25n3p1287-1300.
This article aims to understand how autism challenges the mother in the exercise of motherhood, having the power to affect directly her desire and weaken the mother-child relationship. Although the number of cases of autism has continued to increase since its discovery, it still constitutes an enigma even in the field of science, which favors maternal distress. Thus, in an attempt to elucidate the issues involved in the theme, it is important to trace a brief history about autism and motherhood, in addition to the culturally established ideals or standards. The text still presents the view from Psychoanalysis regarding the women’s desire concerning the motherhood experience, and the made-up solutions as a way to treat the uneasiness resulting from the maternal relationship with autism.
