This article is anchored in the study of the autobiographical writings of autistic Lucy Blackman in order to elucidate the acquisition and development of her language. From this analysis, we highlight the distinction that the writer makes between her oral and written language, described as a form of bilingualism. We privilege a Lacanian psychoanalytic perspective on language, focusing on the acquisition of language as a process of subjectivation, and we seek to delimit the specificities of language in autism. The choice of using autobiographical material as the substrate of this research, although unusual in the field of psychology studies on autism, provided us with a significant amount of clinical data covering forty years of Lucy’s life, articulating authors in the field of psychoanalysis that dedicated themselves to think about autism on the basis of autobiographical accounts, which enabled us to meet the proposed goal of deepening the scientific knowledge about autism.Downloads
