Abstract

Considering that autism brings up questions about the most primitive moment of the subjectivity constitution, this paper first approaches the particularities of the enjoyment that, according to psychoanalytic theory, establishes representation as an inscription on inconscient tying up the subject to the Other. Then, since in autism the enjoyment is situated beyond representation, it is envisaged from the viewpoint proposed by Lacan with the concept of lalangue, the precursor of representation as enjoyment.
