The autistic subject in the Health Unic System: (im)possiblity of care

Abstract This paper aims to present a theoretical study on the official and normative documents of the Ministry of Health in relation to Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). We start from the objective of knowing the discourse present in these documents and, in this context, what relations we can weave between them and the concept of integrality. We used as a source the Virtual Health Library (VHL) of the Ministry of Health, as well as some authors of Psychoanalysis who draw a reading about autism in the current scientific panorama. We conclude that the documents released by the Ministry of Health are dissonant, since the Care Line for the Care of People with Autism Spectrum Disorders points out theoretical affiliations and a network logic different from the one presented in the Directives of Attention to the Rehabilitation of the Person with Disorders of the Spectrum of Autism. In addition, they raise issues that call into question the possibility of integral care in the Network of the Unified Health System (SUS).
