They want to change the name of Asperger's Syndrome because they have discovered that it is paying tribute to a Nazi

Asperger has publicly legitimized policies on racial hygiene, including forced sterilization, and has, on a number of occasions, actively cooperated with the program "Child Euthanasia," said the spokesman. medical historian Herwig Czech.

"The language he used to diagnose his patients was remarkably difficult, even in comparison with the badessments written by the staff of the infamous "euthanasia" institution Spiegelgrund in Vienna, denying the idea that he tried to protect the children he has custody of embellishing their diagnoses "

Asperger also selected children with mental illness who were to be sent to Spiegelgrund, a clinic where 789 patients were killed as part of the Nazi program of child euthanasia.

In his study, Czech presents one of the cases presented by Herta Schreiber, a 2-year-old girl with encephalitis. Asperger treats the girl two months before her birthday and diagnosed hersevere personality disorder: greater motor delay; elastic idiocy; seizures"

"At home, the girl must be an unbearable burden for the mother, who has to take care of five healthy children. A permanent income in Spiegelgrund seems absolutely necessary"Concludes diagnosis of pediatrician.The girl was admitted to the clinic and three months after admission, Hera died of pneumonia, like almost all children of Spiegelgrund.

When the news of these new tests gained momentum in the media, both patients and professionals went to criticize or defend the Austrian pediatrician. "At the time, virtually all German doctors were members of the Nazi party and euthanasia programs for people with mental illness or disability were virtually unopposed."Said Canadian professional Anthony Bailey.

However, the director of the report totally disagrees with those who justify the action of Asperger, saying that euthanasia was illegal even in Nazi Germany.
