Abstract

Autism spectrum disorder was given visibility recently, this causes changes in diagnostic manuals and the valorization of early childhood policies, emphasizing prevention practices. The objective of this article is to relate prevention and psychoanalytic concepts about psychic development, focusing on autism. We discuss the idea of prevention in psychoanalysis, we also present the possibility of prevention of risk signals based on three indicators: gaze disturbances, non-establishment of the third time considering the drive theory and play as an access to intersubjectivity. We conclude that the identification of risk signs should not be used to determine an early deficit but serve to promote the development.
Index terms: autism; psychoanalysis; prevention; psychic development.
