Resumo

This article discusses the importance of the father figure as a powerful agent of transformation in the development and education of atypical children. Based on a theoretical and scientific review, the study seeks to understand the emotional, cognitive, and social impacts of an active father’s presence in the context of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, and other neurodivergent profiles. Grounded in approaches from neuropsychology, developmental psychology, and attachment theory, the work proposes a reflection on the father’s role as an emotional co-regulator, a model of security, and a stimulus for autonomy.
