>In the field of autism research outside psychoanalysis, “systemizing” is a term referring to the desire to explore, analyze, and construct systems of knowledge (Baron-Cohen et al., 2003). Autistic subjects that lean towards systemizing often are able to find satisfaction in analyzing how systems work as well as predicting, controlling, and building new systems. Systemizing entails an intricate use of language to establish an order to the world, one that makes it more predictable but also provides the subject with access to an intimate and idiosyncratic mode of satisfaction. Some studies suggest that systemizing may provide a way for autistic subjects to find comfort and relief from stressors (Klin et al., 2007) and a way of coping with negative emotional experiences (Turner, 1999; Baron-Cohen & Wheelwright, 1999; Kim et al., 2000; Attwood, 2003).
>In psychoanalytic terms, systemizing could be described as a supplementary strategy for the organization of drive functions. Particularly, systemizing rims are considered to establish restricted modes of fixation that put in place the drive circuit which, in turn, raises the “delimitation” of jouissance from a means of protection to the creation of “islands” of drive satisfaction. When they are skillfully cultivated by the subject, these rims can be used to enrich the subject’s relationship with its environment. In other words, they are used to dynamically suture the Innenwelt and Umwelt. This suture stretches from the systematic organization of the body as an enjoying apparatus to a world of systemized patterns available for the subject’s collecting pleasure.
