In this episode we have on Dr. Leon S Brenner to discuss his book, The Autistic Subject: On the Threshold of Language. Through the lens of Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis, Brenner presents autism as a "mode of being", occupying its own linguistic structure alongside the neurotic and the psychotic. A fascinating read and an equally fascinating discussion, we highly recommend you give this a listen and read his groundbreaking book.

As we arrive at a definition of autistic being and its particularities, Brenner provides eye-opening insights and wonderful metaphors for some of psychoanalysis' most fundamental concepts. Any listener, no matter their familiarity with Lacan or Freud, will benefit from this interview.
