Resumo: This article arises from questions related to the care of children diagnosed with autism. Currently, doctors who diagnose these children often recommend speech therapy from a behaviorist perspective, more specifically by professionals who use behavioral methods such as ABA, Applied Behavioral Analysis. While the controversy between different approaches to treating autism has long been discussed by psychologists and psychoanalysts, the same is not true when it comes to speech therapy. The way in which language and the subject are conceived determines the direction of treatment. Based on the discussion of a case I worked on, I problematize these issues and carry out (1) a critical reading of the behavioral perspective that prevails in the treatment of autistic children, based on a discussion of the conception of language underlying the instruments used to conduct the clinic, and (2) present a different conception for thinking about the care of these children, from a perspective whose theoretical foundation is supported by the Language Clinic, a line of research that recognizes the initial/founding gesture of LierDeVitto (1997), an Interactionist, and all the theoretical and clinical developments carried out by the group's researchers. The Language Clinic has European structuralism (Saussure, Jakobson and Benveniste) as its ground for thinking about language, as well as the notion of the unconscious, introduced by Freud (1900). Thus, in chapter 1, I present a discussion of the foundations of Behaviorism and critique the ABA method, problematizing the conception of language, subject and other-therapist that underlies the method. In chapter 2, I present the theoretical-clinical field of the Language Clinic, which underpins this work. In chapter 3, based on the problems involved in using a method based on animal instincts (Skinner, 1953, 1957, 1974), and based on the Language Clinic and the approach to Psychoanalysis, I approached Freud's work, Pulsions and the Fates of the Drive ([1915], 2004), to discuss the biological body and the drive body, the body in question in the Language Clinic. Finally, based on Cecília's case, I discuss and consider the Language Clinic in the treatment of autism
