generations of involvement in psychiatry,

experience with autism, and culminating in his
research on neurodiversity. Drawing on
cutting-edge science, historical archives, and
cross-cultural research in Africa and Asia,

transforming mental illness and offers a path
to end the shadow of stigma. The preeminent
historian of medicine, Sander Gilman, calls
