| Summary: | This paper is due to concerns on the treatment of a child from the perspective of the Language Clinic. The mother brought the child with the request for the differential diagnosis between Speech Apraxia in Childhood and Autistic Spectrum Disorder. On the article, I highlight the contradiction between the entification and fixity of these categories and what appears masked under the semblance of diagnostic undecidability. I propose to articulate the child's unusual oral productions with bodily gestures. The language diagnosis, indicative of failures in the language inscription in the body, implied an intervention on the effect of the child's speech on the other, who, adrift, was trapped in the mirroring of the motor gesture and unable to attribute linguistic value to it. |
