To do this, we used the qualitative approach, the literature review and the Life History method and my experience report that reflects experiences with my son with autism. Authors such as Cleonice Alves Bosa (2002), Eliane Marinho (2009), Maria Teresa Eglér Mantoan (2003), Ana Maria Serrajordia Ros de Mello (2007) and Francisco Baptista Assumpção Júnior (1993) contributed as main theorists to support the research. As a result, we point out that raising a child with autism is a great challenge, at least it was and is for me and, as different research points out, it is also a challenge for many other mothers and family members who have children with autism. My son's story can represent and relate to the story of several children with autism, just as my report woven in the light of scientific literature in the area can raise new knowledge and a polysemic repertoire of reflections and practices with children with autism. autism. It is also observed that the evolution of studies over time has increasingly contributed to a better explanation of the causes of autism. Given this, we can relate autism to the characteristics that my son presents during my pregnancy, birth, his behavior, discovery of autism, treatment and diagnosis, development in school and social contexts, therapies, positive and negative experiences that I went through with him.Acesso AbertoAutismoAutismKannerKannerrelato de experiênciaexperience reportHistória de VidaLife StoryTrabalho de Conclusão de Curso
