Would the "nazis" have killed us Aspies?

[key Stats]

They killed intellectually disabled but not everyone "different". Many high Nazis actually had Aspie traits themselves.

Many high Nazi's actually had Jewish traits themselves - they still had a bad rap generally in the 'reich.'  By saying 'sometimes' I was paying cursory to the 'functionability scale.' They would have only killed those who were 'too different' was my meaning and that invariably, this would have meant an unknown number of people who, had they survived, might later have gone on to be diagnosed in the AS.

[P7PSP]

They would be a liability and something to be cleaned out of the gene pool probably in the eyes of the Nazis.   If a person isn't useful (serving the ultimate purpose), there is no reason to not put them out of their misery.

Let me quote Asperger again :

We are convinced, then, that autistic people have their place in the organism of the social community. They fulfil their role well, perhaps better than anyone else could, and we are talking of people who as children had the greatest difficulties and caused untold worries to their care-givers.

Obviously, Hans Asperger is arguing as passionately as he possibly can that the lives of his "autistic psychopaths" should be spared by the Nazis.

This quote you reference is a translation by Uta Frith of what Hans Asperger wrote in his paper on Asperger syndrome, however, Frith comments on this passage as follows:

"The historical background to this passionate defence of the social value of autism was the very real threat of Nazi terror which extended to killing mentally handicapped and socially deviant people."

That famous quote could have put Dr Asperger's ass in a bind. Whatever faults he had he was a fucking saint  who sought to protect the children. Any other reading of it seems like disingenuous shit to me.

[midlifeaspie]

Yeah aspies would have been killed by nazis

Probably just the whiny ones who told everyone he/she was superior.  The Planky ones.

[Phallacy]

Maybe Jewish aspies.

Hans Asperger diagnosed boys.....

I might have been chosen for breeding material. Quiet, sometimes almost meek woman, not too dumb, and, the right looks. 

Scary thought.

[Genesis]

What about other Spectrum disorders?

[midlifeaspie]

It's too bad they didn't

many nazis were aspies

heres the thing

dont TELL them your aspie. when the gestapo wants to know if you are simply a very bright, intelligent, valuable-to-the-warmachine mastermind, dont go "oh, no, thats just a symptom of my RAMPANT AUTIST BRAIN ERROR =0 'TIS MY PRIDE"

autism is one of the "sneakyest" malfunctions in people, cus if you're lucky, its not a malfunction at all - youll be a highly coveted researcher or a military strategist or something valuable.
if you're unlucky, your just a socially quirky douche who gets completely inapropriate meltdowns. and obviously, nazis would gas that.

Yup, that's why I would end up as breeding material.

I probably would have ended up the same way.
