Modelo médico de deficiência no caso de inadmissão de autistas em concursos públicos como PCDS: análise de casos concretos

Abstract

Many autistic people apply for public tenders for people with disabilities, but end up being eliminated during the biopsychosocial assessment. In this way, this article aims to answer the following question: how does the medical model of disability influence the view of experts who assess the disability of a particular individual in the biopsychosocial assessment? The general goal is to verify how the medical model of disability impacts on the characterization of people with disabilities in the case of autistic people in public tenders. The methodology used was qualitative and explanatory research, based on an interdisciplinary bibliographical review, since the subject involves the areas of Law, Psychology and Medicine. The results obtained were in the sense that the medical model of disability is still rooted in society, to the extent that it is reflected in the decision of experts not to consider an autistic person as a person with disabilities because they do not present "deficits" during the interview and other examples.
