Over the past three decades, there has been a growing interest in the link between severe visual disorders (low vision and blindness) and the presence of autism spectrum disorders. Starting from an approach that focuses on the centrality of the person and adopts a biopsychosocial perspective, the text aims to investigate this comorbidity, proposing research questions, theoretical reflections, and intervention insights. In particular, the text focuses on the following themes: the importance of sensitive and specific diagnostic tools and pathways for the early detection of visual impairment from the earliest stages of development in people with autism spectrum disorders; the importance of specific intervention approaches that take into account the distinctiveness related to this comorbidity and allow supporting and promoting the developmental potential of people with this comorbidity; and the importance of informing and training, through a collaborative and person-centered approach, family members, caregivers, teachers, educators, pedagogues and other professionals in the field of inclusion.

Qu'est ce que cela signifie "être autiste" aujourd'hui ? Si les personnes autistes sont de plus en plus nombreuses à se reconnaître commes telles ou à recevoir un diagnostic d'autisme ou de troubles du spectre autistique (TSA), elles sont souvent, ainsi que leur entourage, désorientées face à ce nouveau monde qui s'ouvre à elles. D'où vient l'autisme ? L'autisme se manifeste-t-il différemment chez les hommes et chez les femmes ? Comment vit-on les questions émotionnelles, du rapport au corps, des interactions sociales, du monde du travail, des relations amoureuses lorsque l'on est autiste ? Quels sont les troubles fréquemment associés à l'autisme ? Doit-on avoir un accompagnement spécifique ou encore suivre un traitement ? qu'en est-il de la dépression ? Dans cet ouvrage, les auteurs font le point sur les avancées de la recherche et de la clinique, et répondent sans fard aux nombreuses questions que peuvent se poser les autistes et leur entourage sur l'autisme et la neurodiversité. Ce manuel, conçu pour devenir un compagnon fiable et concret, met au centre de son propos, à travers de nombreux témoignages, les personnes autistes, leurs singularités, leurs questionnements, leurs expériences et leurs visions du monde.
