ABSTRACT

Why do some people’s minds seem conspicuous, disabled, and ill-fitting in some contexts and not others? This special issue presents articles about people in Jordan, Uganda, the United Kingdom and the United States who live with Down syndrome, autism, intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy, or histories of brain injuries. We focus on the disjunctive encounters between these individuals’ minds and the varied relational processes in their surrounding social world in order to understand why different mental characteristics become points of concern and comparison at some points and not others – and thus to raise questions about how “fitting in” works altogether.

精神适应：谈判认知障碍的边界

抽象的

为什么在某些情况下而不是其他情况下，某些人的思想显得显眼，残障和不适应？本期特刊介绍有关约旦，乌干达，英国和美国患有唐氏综合症，自闭症，智障，脑瘫或脑损伤史的人的文章。我们着眼于这些人的思想与周围社会世界中各种关系过程之间的脱节接触，以了解为什么不同的心理特征在某些点而不是其他点成为关注点和比较点，从而引发了有关“完全适合”。
