In the current paper, we present a view of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) which avoids the typical relational issues, instead drawing on philosophy, in particular Husserlian phenomenology. We begin by following the recent etiological perspectives that suggest a natural predisposition of a part of individuals with ASD towards hypersensitivity and the reduced influence of cognitive priors (i.e., event schemas). Following this perspective, these two characteristics should be considered as a sort of phenomenological a priori that, importantly, could predispose people with ASD towards a spiritual experience, not intended in its religious meaning, but as an attribute of consciousness that consists of being aware of and attentive to what is occurring in the present moment. Potential clinical implications are discussed.
在当前论文中，我们提出了一种自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的观点，该观点避免了典型的关系问题，而是借鉴了哲学，尤其是胡塞尔现象学。我们首先遵循最近的病因学观点，这些观点表明一部分自闭症谱系障碍个体天生易出现超敏反应以及认知先验（即事件图式）的影响减弱。按照这一观点，这两个特征应被视为一种现象学上的先验，重要的是，这可能使自闭症谱系障碍患者倾向于一种精神体验，这里并非指其宗教意义，而是作为意识的一种属性，即意识到并关注当下正在发生的事情。我们还讨论了潜在的临床意义。
