Abstract

Data will be shown as a purpose to cover Asperger autism from an atypical field such as physical anthropology, highlighting as an essential pre-assumption that in every sickness or ailment both society and culture are expressed; epidemiological data from which we will be able to locate such mental disorder in our contemporaneous society and culture’s role as explanatory elements from which family structure proves necessary. It will be noted that the family solves a conflict from which determined bodies are expressed and are marked by several emotions. Visualizing these elements will allow us to start understanding the context in which answers are produced that contribute to social conflicts as well as stigmatizing occurrences. Finally this first approach is considered to be useful to psychiatry, analytical environment that traditionally sidelines those stated elements.
