SANTOS, Régia Vidal; MACEDO, Eunice  e  MAFRA, Jason Ferreira. Autism at school: from a stigmatizing social construction to the recognition as a human condition. R. Bras. Est. Pedag. [online]. 2022, vol.103, n.264, pp.466-485. ISSN 2176-6681.  https://doi.org/10.24109/2176-6681.rbep.103i264.5108.

This theoretical article presents arguments to corroborate the recognition of autism as a human condition in opposition to how it is presented as a set of stigmatizing deficits. To this end, this article is supported by Hannah Arendt’s studies of the human condition and the extended thought; the appreciation of communication between differences and social justice that emerge from Iris Young’s work; the relational and humanizing perspective present in Paulo Freire's work; and Temple Grandin's understanding of autism from within. It is observed that putting into practice an educational listening, involved in understanding autism as a human condition, as much as the analysis - critical, constant and joint - of discourses that deny the ability of autistic people to equal participation in social, cultural and political life, can consolidate a true encounter, learning and human growth in plurality.

Palavras-chave : autism; educational listening; human condition; social construction of autism.
