Abstract | This article illustrates the complex relationship between culture and illness in the context of changes in autism awareness and prevalence. The first half of the article argues that increased awareness is the result of global flows of information and that increased prevalence is the result of significant achievements in mental health and educational services. The author describes how culture influences both disease classification and epidemiology. The second half of the article illustrates the role of culture in the lives of three mothers of autistic children in India. (As Provided). |
