Entende-se por insight o conhecimento do pr?prio diagn?stico e os sentidos constru?dos a partir deste. O desenvolvimento do insight ? aqui compreendido n?o como fun??o da vida mental pessoal, mas como fen?meno intersubjetivo, forjado nas rela??es sociais. O arcabou?o te?rico que subsidia a presente pesquisa ? a perspectiva gen?tica de desenvolvimento avan?ada pela psicologia hist?rico-cultural. Nesta perspectiva, ressaltam-se os processos de constru??o de sentido, considerando para tanto a inser??o hist?rico-cultural do sujeito e suas viv?ncias. Assim, para o estudo defende-se que o entendimento sobre ?como ? ser Asperger? precisa ir al?m da considera??o dos aspectos cognitivos compartilhados socialmente sobre esta condi??o cl?nica. Torna-se indispens?vel o esfor?o de compreens?o dos sentidos e viv?ncias destes sujeitos sobre sua condi??o e do mundo que os cerca. Diante disso, t?m-se o construto de insight como fen?meno complexo que demanda investiga??o ampla e aprofundada. Buscando atingir os objetivos avan?ados pelo estudo, foram propostas atividades em tr?s etapas que investigaram aspectos relacionados ?s experi?ncias asperger. Primeiramente, foi realizada a produ??o de uma narrativa acerca da quest?o que norteia o estudo: ?Como ? ter TA??. Como estrat?gia facilitadora da produ??o narrativa, recorreu-se ? media??o de um personagem alien?gena para o qual eles deveriam produzir uma narrativa que possibilitasse o entendimento da experi?ncia asperger, pois este seria de outro planeta e n?o saberia nada sobre o TA. Ap?s essa etapa, foi realizada entrevista semi-estruturada objetivando investigar aspectos relacionados ao conhecimento formal que os sujeitos t?m do TA. Em sequ?ncia, foi proposta nova atividade com dois objetivos complementares, a saber, a capacidade de identifica??o de caracter?sticas do TA em terceiros, que por sua vez, serviu de facilitador para o segundo objetivo que foi a produ??o de sentidos para as pr?prias viv?ncias dos sujeitos em rela??o ao TA. Participaram do estudo tr?s sujeitos entre 15 e 20, selecionados por conveni?ncia, com diagn?stico pr?vio de TA e com conhecimento deste h? pelo menos cinco anos, tempo este considerado suficiente para a constru??o de significados e sentidos sob a condi??o do diagn?stico cl?nico. Tamb?m participaram seus respectivos pais, que realizaram tamb?m as mesmas etapas da pesquisa que seus filhos, mas foram convocados a respond?-las como se fossem estes. Como resultados observou-se que eles produziram narrativas sobre o diagn?stico de TA e que em suas conceptualiza??es estiveram presentes diversos elementos reconhecidamente presentes em discursos cient?ficos e da m?dia sobre o diagn?stico. Quanto ao sentido do TA para eles, observou-se novamente a presen?a de discursos da m?dia, mas principalmente foram vistas diversas aproxima??es entre o discurso destes e de seus pais. Assim, foi observado que a constitui??o do discurso sobre o pr?prio diagn?stico para os indiv?duos com TA teve grande influ?ncia dos discursos sociais, principalmente de pessoas mais pr?ximas. Os resultados sugerem que uma caracter?stica dos processos de insight no TA pode ser descrita como disrup??o na transi??o de um modo monol?gico para um dial?gico de pensamento. Acredita-se que os resultados aqui encontrados contribuem para a compreens?o da singularidade da exist?ncia e da experi?ncia subjetiva. / The present study aimed expand the comprehension about the processes of insight in the Asperger?s Disorder (AD). Insight can be understood as the knowledge one has about his diagnosis and the meaning constructed from it. The development of insight is taken not as a personal mental function, but as a intersubjective phenomenon, forged in social relations. The study has its basis on the theoretical framework of Historical?cultural psychology with focus in the genetical development perspective. As a central feature of this perspective are the processes of meaning construction, considering the social-cultural insertion of the individual and his experiences. Thereby, the study advocates that the understanding of ?what it is like to be an Asperger? has to go beyond the socially shared idea of cognitive disruption as only features of this condition. The effort of comprehending meanings and experiences of these individuals becomes imperative. Therefore, the insight phenomena emerges as a complex construct, demanding a deep and broad research. In order to achieve the study goals, activities to investigate the Asperger experience were proposed in three steps. First, it was produced a narrative surrounding the central question that guides the study: ?what is it like to have asperger?s??. A mediation strategy was used as facilitating tool to the narrative production. It involved an alien character to whom the participants should talk to, explaining the asperger experience, since they came from a planet where there was no such thing. After the initial production, an semi-structured interview was used aiming to investigate aspects regarding the formal knowledge they had of the diagnosis. In sequence, another activity was proposed intending to investigate their ability to identify AD characteristics in others and, at the same time, facilitating the access and production os meaning to their own experiences towards the diagnosis. Three individuals with ages between 15 and 20 years old participated of the study, selected by convenience. They all had a previous diagnosis of AD and had knowledge of it since at least 5 years. That was considered enough time to the construction of meanings about the diagnosis. Also participated in the study their respective parents, who took part in the same investigation steps as their subjects and responded as if they were those. Results showed that they produced narratives about their AD diagnosis and that in their discourse there were many elements notedly present in the media and scientific material. As of the meanings surrounding the diagnosis, is was noted that media elements were also present, but specially approximations were seen between their and their parents perceptions. Therefore, it was noted that the discourse constitution about their own diagnosis for the AD individuals had many influences of the social discourses, notedly of closest people. The results sugest that a characteristic os the processes of insight in AD can be described as a disruption in the transition from a monologic to a dialogic way of thinking. It I believed that the results here exposed can contribute to the comprehension of the singularity of the existence and subjective experience of these individuals.
