Autism Speak$: Why Autistic People Take Language Very Seriously
, In person, The Site for Contemporary Psychoanalysis
Leon Brenner looks at the particular seriousness with which many autistic people treat language, approaching words with a precision and intent that the clinic too often mishears. Drawing on autobiography, research and Lacanian psychoanalysis, and on his own work with autistic patients, he asks how practitioners and caretakers might adjust their listening so that language becomes a means of autonomy rather than correction.
