De estudante de letras a neuropsicopedagoga: uma trajetória de luta, mobilização intelectual e resiliência de uma mãe em busca do desenvolvimento do filho com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA)

Abstract

This article seeks to understand the trajectory of a mother who overcame all adversities and built her own resilience process in search of the development of her child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This work is based on the formulations of the theory of the relationship with knowledge by B. Charlot, linking the concept of mobilization, which in turn, has to do with an external action, emphasizing the fact that one is motivated by someone or something, and in the theory of resilience proposed by B. Cyrulnik, which provides a tool for observation, experimentation and reflection that allows analyzing the emotionally fragile person, and determined to be able to undertake a new meaning for their academic and personal formation. In order to make the objectives viable and evidence the understanding of ASD and its classifications, we present a table with the levels of autism according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) (2013). As the methodology addressed, we will practice the actential self-reflective narrative with the proposal by Xypas (2019), which adapted elements brought by Greimas (1996). For a deeper understanding of ASD, we will rely on the theorization of Cunha (2009), Silva, Gaiato and Reveles (2012).
