Asperger was never a member of the Nazi party.
I invite everyone here who has stood up against a murderous totalitarian dictatorship at the likely cost of their life to tell us how Asperger should have done better.

This is only true in the US. And people who were previously diagnosed as Aspergers retain that diagnosis, even in the US.
- m_fayer 5y agoI want to strongly second this. Asperger was a complicated person with a complicated story in a brutal context, but ultimately a sympathetic and insightful man. His story is told in "Neurotribes" which is a thorough history of autism, and highly recommended.
