The thing about the Hans Asperger debate is that even if he wasn’t aware of the euthanasia program at Am Spiegelgrund he was still a eugenicist who spread harmful ableist ideas.

The Asperger Syndrome

Hello everyone! Today I'll explain you what is the asperger syndrome.

A the end of the post, if you have any questions, feel free to dm me! I'll answer you in another post.

Characteristics

It mostly occurs in boys, from the first years of life until 12/13 years. This does not mean that it is not present in adults, but it means that it is easier to recognize it when you are young.

There are many characteristics that people with this syndrome have in common, but I'll say to you only the most obvious.

Difficulty relating to other people;

Have a greater interest in learning about specific topics than others;

Photographic memory (especially in subjects where one is most interested);

Selective mutism;

Solitary character.

What Is It?

The asperger syndorme is a mild form of autism, which involves behavioral and character disorders (as we saw before).

Hans Asperger

Hans Asperger was a doctor who discovered the asperger syndome (who derives form the name).

He was the first who studied it, describing the asperger children "little teachers", beacuse of the characteristic I said before.

Curiosity

The thing I'm gonna say os true, beacause I've experienced it on my skin because of my brother who has the asperger syndome and... no spoiler!

Someone who has autism at a young age (firsts months/ year of life) can do a therapy no to quit autism, but to shrink it. As I said, asperger syndrome is a mild form of autism, so if a little child does a specific therapy can just have the asperger syndrome.

Famous Asperger People

There are many famous asperger people, but I'm showing you just a little bit of them!

Geta Thunberg, activist.

Albert Einstein, physicist

Isaac Newton, mathematical

Bill Gates, ex. CEO of Microsoft

Now I guess that post is finished. If you have anu questions dm me! Bye!! @2rexxer2 .

P.S.= If you talk about asperger syndrome, don't say that it is a mental ill!!

[Edith] Sheffer also shows how Asperger's own writing about autism shifted during the late 30s and 40s to better reflect trends in Nazi child psychiatry. Particularly she looks at how Asperger incorporated the concept of "gemüt" a German term that was used to describe a person's ability to form rich social bonds with others, into his definition of autism. German psychiatrists in the Nazi era increasingly characterized gemüt as the primary means of measuring a person's value. The Nazi regime prioritized gemüt as a trait that allowed people to become embedded into the national community. Those who were labeled as gemüt-less or as being deficient in gemüt were considered a danger to the project of national socialism. As Sheffer puts it gemüt was seen as a "key ingredient for Nazism" (71). This increased emphasis on gemüt, on "correct" social feeling, perhaps helps to explain why autistic traits became increasingly pathologized during the Nazi era. By 1944 Asperger was arguing that autistic children could be defined by their anomalous or insufficient gemüt. To be autistic was to be an unfit member of the volk, a bad Nazi.

Sheffer seeks to unravel the complicated contradictions inherent in Asperger's characterization of autism. Asperger defined autistic children as in many ways being the inverse of the proper member of the volk, emphasizing what he defined as their "dangerous" lack of gemüt. Yet, Asperger also argued that some autistic children, those who he deemed to be intellectually gifted, had the potential to contribute enormously to society through intellectual pursuits. Asperger characterized autistic people as at once a threat and a potential resource to the state. In doing so Asperger reaffirmed eugenic notions that sought to determine human value based on productivity. His work lies at the cross section between two common and troubling ways of measuring the value of human life: those based on productivity and on social relationships. This is something for disability studies scholars to keep in mind as we seek to complicate means of defining human worth. The ability to form and maintain social relationships is itself a type of capacity, and the prioritization of human relationships creates its own forms of exclusion.

"But my identity!"

If your identity is a fucking Nazi, then don't you think it might be worth the consideration to get a different identity that's not a fucking Nazi.

Episode 3 of Extraordinary Attorney Woo was pretty good imo. I might upload some screenshots from it later.

But it was incorrectly stated in the episode that Nazi collaborator Hans Asperger was the first researcher to study autism. Actually, the first researcher to study autism was a Jewish woman, Grunya Sukhareva, who lived and worked in the Soviet Union.
