Quelle prise en cost pour l’enfant autiste ? Les mom and dad, qui bien souvent ne connaissent ni les principes ni les effets des trois approches dominantes de l’autisme, sont tragiquement démunis face à cette question.

Aujourd’hui, le comportementalisme tient le haut du pavé. Avec lui, on espère obtenir – et on obtient quelquefois – une edition minimale à l’espace social ordinaire : prise des repas, hygiène corporelle, utilisation des transports, conduite dans les lieux publics. Mais au prix de quelle violence ? de quelle dénaturation de l’enfant ? À l’inverse, le « non-agir » initié dans les Cévennes, il y a près d’un demi-siècle, par Fernand Deligny défend l’idée que les autistes, représentants d’une humanité primitive, doivent être, comme les peuples premiers, respectés dans ce qu’ils sont et préservés du monde « civilisé », au risque d’être laissés à leur situation native.

La psychanalyse, repensée, réinventée, libérée des pratiques obsolètes, suggest une troisième voie. Substituant une clinique du regard à celle de l’écoute et donnant los angeles priorité à l’accueil et au « tissage » quotidien, elle entreprend d’amener l’autiste non pas à nous mais à lui-même, afin de faire apparaître, à terme, un enfant qui ne soit pas seulement présentable, montrable, mais, comme les autres, « rêvable » par ses parents.

Telle est assurément los angeles sortie de l’autisme – respectueuse de l’enfant – qu’on est en droit d’attendre aujourd’hui.

“He asumido hace tiempo que jamás lograré ‘extirpar’ el dolor de mis pacientes, porque el dolor es parte constitutiva de los angeles vida. No importa cuánto alguien se analice, de todos modos sufrirá si pierde un amor, o si muere un ser querido. El dolor es inevitable, pero no el padecimiento. Y esa diferencia es los angeles que hace que cada día vuelva al consultorio. Sé que tampoco lograré que desaparezca en ellos los angeles sensación, aunque a veces leve y susurrada, de soledad. Pero es así, pues, como decía aquella vieja canción, ‘estamos todos solos’.” En el año 2007 Gabriel Rolón publicaba Historias de diván, un verdadero fenómeno editorial en el que ponía en evidencia una manera inédita de transmitir algo tan íntimo como es el encuentro entre un analista y su paciente, una forma radicalmente distinta de poner el Psicoanálisis al alcance de cientos de miles de lectores. Hoy, siete años después de aquel primer trabajo, toma el riesgo de ir un poco más lejos, hacia una zona en l. a. que quien padece llega a una situación límite. Por eso, por estas páginas transitan las adicciones, los angeles discapacidad, el incesto, los angeles mentira, los angeles culpa, una histeria grave y sufriente, y un amor desmesurado al borde mismo de l. a. locura. Al ultimate de cada relato, el desarrollo de un concepto teórico y su articulación con el caso expuesto son una invitación a indagar, ya no sólo en lo acontecido durante las sesiones, sino también en el marco conceptual que sostiene l. a. práctica clínica. Lejos está l. a. intención de llevar esta propuesta a un texto de estudio sobre Psicoanálisis. Se trata mejor de compartir experiencias vitales, irrepetibles. Momentos sostenidos en l. a. pura pasión de quien mira al miedo a los ojos para hacer más llevadero un mundo que duele. Y es ahí, en esa zona entre perturbadora y turbulenta, donde sale al cruce Historias inconscientes. Como testimonio y a l. a. vez palabra de acción. Como el libro que confirma definitivamente a Gabriel Rolón entre los autores más importantes de los angeles última década.
