Based on their praxis, the authors propose to question the unthinkable of the autistic problematic based on love and desire, which is its great vehicle. To this end, they propose to relate the subject of the individual and the subject of the collective, the formation of the crowd and melancholic passion, in order to grasp the lessons on the structuring effects of the so-called autistic subject in their reports. To the Other, and vice versa, about the quality of the contemporary social bond. They argue that the conjuncture between the autistic problem and the capitalist discourse potentiates the caregiver's melancholy [mirroring the melancholy of the maternal Other]. The current conception of care, which excludes the specificity of the love from the specific transference to the autistic suffering, destroys any idea of involvement of the professional in the encounter. Therefore, only the restoration of the dimensions of love to transference and of desire, as the treatment of their incurable, make it possible to think and/or to rethink current practices, this time based on the ethics of the psychoanalytical clinic.
