Through the approach of episodes of “passage to the act” in which an autistic patient bites the father, this paper discusses the events occasioned by the absence of the name of the father as a mediator of relations between the subject and the otherness, the object-dimension and the image. The discussion about the place that “bites the father” had in the libidinal economy of this subject deals with issues relating to authority, sexual non-differentiation and the building of self-image. The study discusses the appeasement possible to access through the invention of a body in its relations to the Real, Symbolic and Imaginary registers, as exposed by Jacques Lacan.
Keywords: autism; passage to the act; name of the father; holophrasis; body.
