This article discusses the value of invention work as a form of stabilization in the clinic of autism. It is based on a university extension project aimed at children with severe psychic suffering in which psychoanalysis is used to guide work and treatment. Watching the movement of those children allowed us to single out subjects who, through their particular manifestations, sought to produce something that would stabilize their psychic disorganization. Therefore, we understand that the subjective work involved in the act of invention - as an act through which a subject performs a unique construction of elements of his history based on existing materials - may result in stabilization and mediation with the field of the Other by of the subject, which was observed in this clinical experience..
