OK. It is well known that the German's were conducting experiments and obsessed with eugenics...Its pretty much the basis of their belief system, a perfect race. So they were at least considering ways of altering people to the serving population to what they desired...and when you couple that with nazis taking power in '33, Asperger writes first study in '44. Are these new Hitler Youths?
It isnt a stretch at all to say they were at minimum, trying to do this...
This is an insult to Asperger's memory.
Hans Asperger was
forced to work under the Nazis. It's not like everyone living in those places was a Nazi, but if they had jobs then the Nazis ran things, that's just how life was unless you could get out or unless you were forced out of your job because you were an undesirable of some kind.
Asperger's daughter has verified that Asperger stressed the positive traits of his autistic patients because he didn't
want the Nazis killing them. This is probably why autism looked so different on each side of the Atlantic. Kanner had no social pressures forcing him to see the positives, but did have pressure to see the negatives, so that is how he wrote about his patients. Asperger it was the reverse scenario. If you actually find out about their patients, they were seeing people who were virtually identical, possibly interchangeable (Asperger saw them when they were older than Kanner did -- all but one of Kanner's patients had speech, and some of them spoke early, and at least one of Asperger's spoke late, etc).
What Asperger did was try to give some kids a chance to live. If you want a conspiracy, it's in his attempt to screw over the Nazis to keep his patients alive.
