ABSTRACT. This paper is based on the clinical material of the autistic Donna Williams in order to investigate the work of transformation of the sensorial-perceptual through perceptual presentation. We discuss the contributions of the psychoanalysts Cesar and Sara Botella and the contributions of the psychoanalyst Roussillon on the importance of reflexivity for perception and recognition as supports for the process of symbolization of the first perceptive traits that need to be invested and associated with each other. Throughout the text, we hypothesized that by inventing compensatory mirroring modalities, Donna was able to re-present perceptual features not yet represented, whose perceptual presentation is preliminary to their own ability to be represented. In this context we based ourselves in the studies of the psychoanalyst Laznik about the urgency of the elision in the clinic with the autists to think about the existence of mnemic traits in autism that exist, but are not invested. Because they are completely without investment, they do not install paths and connections, blocking the appearance of representations and the complexification of the psyche based on the organization of representations. In contrast, we study a psychic work of symbolization of the sensorial through the projection of these traits and, in this line of argument, we will demonstrate how the transfer of these traits, by means of the figuration, favored a specularity through these mirrors that provided a compensatory function of mirroring.
