A ampliação da percepção na interface Dança e Autismo: um ensaio da convivência

This theoretical essay explores arguments at the interface of Dance and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), based on the premise of humanization. It draws on bibliographic reviews developed in four articles published between 2019 and 2024, and the narrative of experience in the book TEarte. It focuses on the perspective of individuals who coexist with autistic people, prompting questions about our perceptions of ourselves and life when interacting with autistic individuals through Dance. It points to a circular movement that fosters the development of human characteristics such as availability, silence, listening, and compassion. It suggests that it is in dialogical coexistence that Dance demonstrates its expanded potential, while mobilizing our perception of reality. Thus, the role of Dance-as-art in society contributes to the recognition of the unique expression of each human being and to the development of an anti-ableist education through a critical perspective. https://doi.org/10.21723/riaee.v21i00.2009202
