A visibilidade do preconceito contra o corpo de crianças autistas e seus impactos no ensino de linguagem.

Abstract

This work reflects on the dissemination, in the digital context, of fake news related to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Furthermore, we seek to understand, based on the analysis of the discourse used, the impact of this (mis)information on the autistic community, its contribution to the solidification of prejudices and, consequently, how this misinformation favors the process of marginalization of diagnosed subjects. in the spectrum. The focus for this reflection will be the category of representation and discursive analysis of text (Adam, 2011) and context (Van Dijk, 2012). Initially, an analysis is presented on how the enunciator constructs the image of independent media and then how he uses external references to support the theses he intends to defend when approaching the topic of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

The aim is to understand, based on the analysis of the text and context, the impact of this (mis)information on the autistic community, its contribution to the solidification of prejudices and, consequently, how this misinformation favors the process of marginalization of subjects. diagnosed on the spectrum. In the first instance, the positions and content published on websites aimed at inclusion and education about the disorder were observed. Then, there was a brief analysis of a selection of fake news, published on the Coletividade Evolutiva website, which addressed autism, as well as expanding the debate beyond fakes. The results suggest that there is a constant use of autism as a resource of fear, in order to propagate the anti-vaccine movement, which favors the strengthening of prejudice that portrays the disorder as an evil to be avoided and fought
