There was a book written called Asperger's Children that showed in explicit horror that Hans Asperger fully cooperated with the Nazi regime's child euthanasia program. That's shocking enough, given that the disorder carried his name and was labeled to children decades afterward without regard to it's history.

However, the revelation that the disorder wasn't even generated by Nazis but had a much more benign pre-history complicates things even further. I think there is validity in the diagnosis, but that it needs to be reassessed with its unclear and complicated history taken in to account. Here's a lot going on here - anti-semitism, the dark and complex history of psychiatry, whitewashing of history, etc.

There's also no books available in English about Grunya Sukhareva.

BTW PeraclesPlease, I didn't expect anyone to really like this post, much less repost it, and I really, really appreciate. :)

2) let’s not forget the other key hero of all mRNA vaccines- Hungarian-American immigrant Dr Katalin Karikó who developed the mRNA technology. She will win the Nobel someday. https://t.co/Ew7LS1gY44
