Abstract
This lecture focuses on the role of stereotyped activities in autism, as well as on their potential linkage and transformation into different types of language (body, musical, playful, verbal).
My thinking has been influenced by the significant contributions of Frances Tustin, as well as by inputs of other post-Kleinian authors – above all, Genevieve Haag –, who have drawn on Tustin’s key theoretical-clinical contributions and have circulated them in a living dialectic.
Firstly, this work establishes the existing tension between, and junction of, rhythms and stereotypies, after which the function of the latter is expanded by way of a few psychoanalytical contributions. Next, I provide a series of criteria to arrive at a possible classification of such elements.
To conclude, I intend to relate the development of the Body Self (Haag, 2018) to different stereotyped activities, taking the roads that the practice can offer, as described in three vignettes.
