Abstract
Our society operates at a frenetic pace, impeding our ability to
perceive the world through the human capacity for wonder before beauty,
placing more value on personal satisfaction than the truth. We must turn our
gaze back to those aspects which guide our path in the world and allow us to
discover truly the reality of things, with education being the point of
departure. This capacity for wonder and beauty are a part of the essence of the
human being and thus are independent of the abilities and disabilities of each
individual because these particularities only serve to enrich us and make us
unique. We can only engage with learning and perceive the world through
our interrelation with others, through a culture of encounter. This encounter,
when referring to persons with autism, demands more of the teacher than the
child, given that it is they who must adapt to understand and accompany the
child and valuing their particular manner of experiencing wonder and the
beauty of the world.
