Autistic traits from a hermeneutic position I.

Abstract

Autistic traits from a hermeneutic position I. – The current biological-reductive naming of autism as a pervasive developmental disorder contributes to the stigmatizing perception of autism. Last but not least, it can complicate the path to a positive identity for people with autism, as more people with ASD tend to take language literally. The article searches for the cause of this way of perceiving the neurodiversity of a person, looking for ways to better acceptance and self-acceptance of people with ASD. Autistic spectrum disorders require a holistic hermeneutic approach. People with this nature enrich society, at the same time, misunderstanding these differences can lead to unnecessary traumatization or contribute to the development of perverse variants of autism. Latent, less pronounced, but all the more numerous in society, autistic traits that more people show also deserve attention. Some philosophers describe the symptoms of autistic traits, point out the difference in the overall structure of such a form of humanity and come to terms with it, even if they name the given phenomenon in a different way.
