Rant about Hans Asperger

Hans Asperger was a nazi. The only people I ever see who try to argue hans asperger fought against rhe nazi regime "from the inside" are people who are not autistic and do not understand what autistic people have been through. That man was a sham who created "Asperger's Syndrome" solely as a way to separate autistics that were useful to the nazi regime and those that they believed weren't. That's why for ages asperger syndrome was referred to as a "high functioning" form of autism, or autism "without the learning disabilities" it was entirely rooted in ableism and left behind higher needs autistic people as though we were useless subhuman sacks of shit. There's a reason it isn't an official diagnosis anymore, cuz it was made an ableist nazi who wanted to divide us. Did he have some good discoveries that helped us? Sure, it was good of him to have recognized autism as a spectrum, it was groundbreaking and people ignored this due to his status as a nazi, but he only used this discovery as a way to create asperger's syndrome, not actually to help us be better understood. We can't just take the good of his discoveries without acknoloweding that it wss not out of the goodness of his heart, and without acknowledging the equally evil side of his interest in ASD research. I'm so tired of autistic infighting fueled by a dead nazi.

I highly recommend this article to know more of the absolute horrors that Hans Asperger put disabled and mentally ill, or brain damaged children through:
