MONTERO-MARTINEZ, Juan. The knowledge to regulate autism in Colombia: a critical approach from the position of Michel Foucault. Rev. Cienc. Salud [online]. 2022, vol.20, n.3, pp.1-. Epub 31-Ago-2023. ISSN 1692-7273. https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/revsalud/a.11711.
Introduction:
This article analyzes the emergence of autism in Colombia and its relationship with the biomedical and cognitive-behavioral model. The theoretical-methodological basis of this document is Michel Foucault's sociohistorical proposal, which problematizes the conditions of possibilities of expert knowledge, such as psychology and psychiatry.
Development:
It is shown how the 1980s American psychiatric and psychological models were adopted by Anthiros, an institution specialized in the treatment of autism, based on a historical overview of the autistic disorder in the United States, from 1940s to 2010s. It is also evident how since the mid-1990's Anthiros made autistic disorders visible through the press and allowed some parents of subjects with this condition to internalize and reproduce the biomedical and behavioral explanations.
Conclusions:
Currently some parents do not need health professionals to reproduce the biomedical and behavioral postulates, which makes them the new drivers of autism awareness at the national level.
