Aspergers Children
In Nazi Vienna, a prominent pediatrician, Hans Asperger, developed diagnostic categories that still shape our understanding of autism today. Edith Sheffer unearths the disturbing connections between Asperger's work and the chilling eugenics policies of the Third Reich, revealing how the era's political climate influenced his research and the fates of the children he studied. This meticulously researched history forces a reckoning with the origins of our diagnostic labels and the ethical responsibilities of medical science.
