Hans Asperger, euthanasia, etc.

There is a theory that, in his paper, Hans Asperger exaggerated the benefits of "autistic psychopathy" in order to save his patients from the nazi euthanasia program.

Asperger himself said or wrote anything about that? He died 35 years after the liberation of Austria, after all (curiously, it seems to be very little about Asperger's research after his 1943 paper, like he had abandoned that field of study only to be re-discovered by Sula Wolff and Lorna Wing when he died; or is a problem derived from his work be in German?).

it is quite possible.The Nazi killed gased 100,000 mental patients in what is refered to as operation "T-4"(the same technology was later used in the holocaust).People considered to be "anti-socials" were sent to concentration camps as well.Add to this the lack of regard to age or gender in the Nazi program of mass murder and you have a siuation where anyone who cant function in society is a target of the Nazis.
It's also interesting to note that many autistics(mislabled as mentally ret*d) were likely murdered in "T-4".Asperger would have had a lot of incentive to focus on the positive aspects of mild autism as any mention of the more negative aspects put the kids in danger.
