The paper demonstrates the need for discussion of the diagnosis of autism. After DSM- IV, the disease codes nullified the complexity of a diagnosis by appealing to simplification and the psychoanalytic contents were excluded. Several mental disorders were included under the autistic spectrum which we disagree with from forty-one years of clinical experience. One hundred people were analyzed based on a diagnosis of autism from a neurologist. Based on the holofasmic systemic methodology, we sought the dimensional profile of the being in its dimensions built in the existential mesh. In the absence of a psychoanalytic reading, we frame man functionally and forget that desires, relationships, and languages are constitutive parts of this subjectivity braided in parental and social bonds. The analysis of these diagnoses confirms the simplistic approach and shows that in 89 percent of the cases the person does not have autistic spectrum disorder, but neuropsychic development disorders with psychotic personality structure. The danger liesin the treatment approach, which limits the scope of possibilities of re-signifying bonds, attitudes, and learning.

Keywords : Diagnosis; autism; holofasmic systemic methodology.
