Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and « Late Modernity » : What Correlations ?

Is the increase in the number of subjects diagnosed with ASD related to the permanent revolution of late modernity as described by Harmut Rosa? The description of a particular phenotype of ASD in the study of Weill Cornell Medicine (2023) is an opportunity to test this hypothesis. By considering this phenotype of ASD as a complex sociological phenomenon and by applying a hologramic approach, we found in a phenomenological analysis of two clinical cases possible correlations: the difficulty of coping with the intensity of the “presence-of-the-world” perhaps due to sensoriality disorders, the need to carry out the program of the time despite everything through islands of competences.
