This comprehensive history of the links between autism and Nazism and how diagnoses reflect a society's values, concerns, and hopes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The Nazi regime massacred millions in Europe during World War II, classifying people according to race, religion, behavior, and physical condition for treatment and elimination. Nazi psychiatrists targeted children with various disabilities—especially those who demonstrated social skills deficits—claiming that the Reich had no place for them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eHans Asperger and his Austrian colleague Leo Kanner were the first physicians to introduce the term \"autism\" as a stand-alone diagnosis to describe certain characteristics of social withdrawal. Asperger and his colleagues did strive to provide individualized care to stimulate the cognitive and emotional growth of children who were considered on the \"favorable\" end of the autism spectrum; however, they transferred others they deemed untreatable to the Spiegelgrund, one of the Reich's most lethal child extermination centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The purpose of this story, according to the author, is not to indict any particular figure nor to undermine the political discussion on neurodiversity inspired by Asperger's work; rather, it is a cautionary tale in the service of neurodiversity, revealing how diagnoses can be shaped by social and political forces—and how difficult it can be to perceive and combat these forces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eChildren with Asperger's\u003c\/em\u003e leads us to rethink how societies evaluate, label, and treat individuals diagnosed with some type of disability.\u003c\/p\u003e \"","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159830315260,"sku":"9788501116291","price":79.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/0bec94c17d1c7a04967fb1b9e80aab81_cba575b4-4471-4fb6-9f55-f17368d08062.jpg?v=1778312891"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/edith-sheffer.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
