The main character of this book is autism. True, it does not have chromosomes, antibodies, toxicology, vaccines or brain structure. It is about how culture affects our attitude to autism. The author considers it not only as a mental disorder, but also as a group of symptoms that were highlighted at a certain time and in certain cultures, answering the question: what caused the global "epidemic" of autism?
"Diseases can be biological, but they are never only biological."
"Unstable minds" is also the story of the daughter of the author Isabelle (this book is dedicated to it), amazing people in the spectrum of autism, from whom we can learn a lot, and selfless mothers from different parts of the world fighting for a worthy present and future for their children living with autism.
Roy Richard Grinker - professor of anthropology and international relations at the University of George Washington from the psychoanalyst dynasty, has been studying autism for a long time, the author of the book "We are all abnormal"
