The Function of Writing for autistic Naoki Higashida

Abstract

The present article starts a study that sought to understand a function of the writing for the author Naoki Higashida from his book "What makes me jump". The hypothesis raised for a writing makes possible a treatment of the voice and a stability of the signs, attending to the anxieties of the autism immutability. Starting from a psychoanalytic look on the voice and the autistic subjects, they were studied as supports of authors related to the subject, emphasizing as the supports of Higashida in its singularity in its relation with the writing. It was possible to conclude that the voice, as object, is something extracted by the autistic in its constitution, that is, the autist retains its voice. Higashida's writing favors the sending of data to the outside world, since the work can be done, as well as the polysemy and the direct addressing of the voice to the other, not having the marked presence of this one. The continuity is once, the support by means of the double, the writing facilitates the communication with the letters, the indices and symbols, the access to the criteria of immobility sought by the author, besides enabling the connection and the social insertion.
