Um estudo sobre a relação entre políticas públicas de comunicação e o Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) em famílias da região de Farroupilha/RS

Abstract

This work aims to visualize the needs in relation to social communication that autistic people and their families - members of the Farroupilha Association of Parents and Friends of the Autist - support on a daily basis. This monograph presents a chapter on autism, in order to be able to understand the condition. Next, a chapter on stigma, which addresses the preconceptions that society has towards the autistic person. And a third chapter that develops about communication aimed at social causes, where one can have a basis for future actions to support the cause. And finally, this chapter discusses the role of the public power and NGOs in municipalities. The research has a qualitative approach with an in-depth character. In this case, families who attend the AMAFA structure were interviewed, using a semi-structured script. The objective is, through the analysis, to understand the communication gaps that affect living in society and the everyday life of autistic people and those who live with them.
