| Resumo: | Since the proliferation of the COVID-19 pandemic and social isolation, society has undergone extreme routine changes. The search for alternatives to relate to others appears to be something usual in the daily lives of autistic people, which have differences regarding Social Communication skills. In this paper, written by an autistic master's student, who maintains an intense presence in the production of content about Autistic Spectrum Disorder on the Internet and her supervisor, we bring to the discussion the construction of textualities on digital platforms through dialogue with testimonials from autism and activism on these platforms during and before initial quarantine period. Methodologically, we opted for an incursion into public profiles of digital networks with an ethnographic inspiration. Thus, we aim to articulate a dialogue between the autistic master's student and the observed profiles concerning affective accessibility for and by people in the Autistic Spectrum during the Covid-19 pandemic. |
