AUTISMO E VÍCIOS

Autism and addictions. Placing into the body an identifying form and the feeling of existence remains problematic for those suffering from autism or addiction. The refuge inside the thoughts or in psychic dispersion avoids the contact with catastrophic experiences, but leads to a process of sensorial dismantling and a deconstruction of the body image, in different degrees in each case. The prolonged effacement of the consciousness of body feelings provokes such angst by annihilation that an immediate return to the strong and painful feelings temporarily restores the feeling of existence.

Addiction; autism; conscience of body sensations; feeling of existence
