The primary purpose of this paper will be to investigate whether in narrativizing the subtleties of shame and stigma into the form of a coherent autobiography, the autistic autobiographer, Tito Mukhopadhyay, intentionally or unwittingly, explores different avenues regarding the types of autobiographical accounts, which causes us to re-imagine our understandings of autism and numerous other forms of cognitive impairment, and move past excessively deterministic and essentialist/normalizing biomedical discourses of cure and care. The study shall work within theories of postcolonialism, phenomenology, narrative theory, trauma studies and life writing studies. A literature review based on the extant scholarship in the field of life writing studies, health humanities and other disciplines has been conducted and after the identification of the research gap, this study chiefly seeks to purport that the lived experience of autism can be at variance with the prevalent biomedical and neurological understanding of this condition. By taking into cognizance the various material realities of the patients as evinced in their autie-biographies, I maintain that this information can come to the aid of medical practitioners, psychologists and psychoanalysts in considering the subjective dimensions of experience of autism apart from the monolithic and monolingual truth as evidenced by a scientific enquiry of autism spectrum disorder. This also suggests some appropriate conversation starters about the crossing points between a debilitating condition and the act of composing one’s life narrative with such a debilitating condition.

重新考虑自闭症叙事机构和自传：蒂托·穆霍帕德亚伊的《超越沉默：我的生活、世界和自闭症》的奇特案例

本文的主要目的将是调查是否在将羞耻和污名的微妙之处叙述为连贯自传的形式时，自闭症自传作者 Tito Mukhopadhyay 是否有意或无意地探索了关于自传类型的不同途径，这导致我们重新想象我们对自闭症和许多其他形式的认知障碍的理解，并超越过度确定性和本质主义/规范化的治疗和护理的生物医学话语。该研究应在后殖民主义、现象学、叙事理论、创伤研究和生活写作研究的理论范围内进行。基于生活写作研究领域现有学术成果的文献综述，健康人文学科和其他学科已经开展，在确定研究差距后，本研究主要旨在声称自闭症的生活经历可能与对该病症的普遍生物医学和神经学理解存在差异。考虑到患者自传中所显示的各种物质现实，我认为这些信息可以帮助医生、心理学家和精神分析师考虑孤独症体验的主观维度，而不是整体和自闭症谱系障碍的科学调查所证明的单语真相。
