Abstract

The present article aims at analyzing the relationship between autism and devastation brought about by a case of a six-year-old child. Through S. Freud's and J. Lacan's theoretical references, the theme of devastation is analyzed as far as female sexuality and psychoses are concerned. The present analysis also examines motherly function and its relation with clinic devastation in autists.
