Was Hitler trying to breed a race of super aspies?

The connection between Nazi Germany and Asperger's Syndrome is undeniable.
Goebels certainly showed many signs of Asperger's Syndrome, as did other influential figures under Hitler such as Albert Speer, Lief Reifenstahl, and even Adolph Hitler himself.
If there's one thing anyone who's ever cracked an elementary history text knows, it's that the Nazis were trying to breed a master race: the Aryans.
Now, as we all know, Asperger's Syndrome is a predominantly white, and especially Northern European, disorder. Who better matches this description than the ideal Aryan race, who, like Aspies, were supposed to be of superior intelligence? It is easily possible that the traits Hitler saw in the ideal Aryan were the traits of an Aspie. Contrast these with the stereotypical Jewish traits that the Nazis sought to root out in humanity: greed and deception, both of which are typically uncharacteristic of the ever honest Aspie.
It is very possible that Hitler, by killing the Jews, blacks, gypsies, etc. and leaving the pure-bred white northern European, would have created a world in which Autism, specifically Asperger's Syndrome, was far more predominant, in a way that could have benefited an Aryan utopia.
In fact, since caucasians are just about the youngest and most recent ethnic group of them all due to environmental adaptation and genetic mutation, it is possible that their newer genetic traits and the caucasian's European environment (which requires a person to stay indoors most if not all of the year) would have seen a more obvious emergence of aspie traits, along with allowing the mutations and shifts in human evolution to occur that would allow for the introduction of Asperger's.
In fact, it is quite possible that those with Asperger's are a new strain of human that may at some point go on to replace the neurotypical, who is slowly but surely dying out while the aspie survives.

I actually ran a poll in the general discussion regarding eye color. Many of the people had multi colored eyes. Many also claimed to have eye color changes after the age of 2. I think that is rare in the general population of NT's. There may have been some genetic engineering going on to make people more logical, less emotional, follow rules, etc. The general population (which may include some undiagnosed aspies) contains about 2 percent of geniuses while the autistic population contains about 10%. Savant splinter skills are much more common amongst aspies too and these people aren't considered all out geniuses but just geniuses in some particular area.

I have heard that Neanderthal brains were larger than those of Homo Sapiens. From what I have read of geniuses they live lives of high frustration and are generally misunderstood and very unhappy. AS people may be generally misunderstood and unhappy but that seems not to be good criteria for either genius or super survivability. Humanity is a mishmash of all sorts of types and "superiority" varies from time to time depending on which characteristics are favored by temporary conditions.
