In this article, I analyze what I call the ecology of disabled minds in urban Uganda. This analytic notion allows me to account for the way that an interactive web of people, cultural expectations, historical changes, official discourses, and institutional resources collectively contribute to the manifestation of certain forms of human difference as unusual, as cognitive, and as disabilities. Such a notion further allows me to make sense of a set of puzzles I encountered during fieldwork, and to track the emergence of new kinds of minds in contemporary Uganda
