artappraiser - Genuinely didn't expect anyone to take this post that serious, so I guess I will follow suit.

As for "breeding centers," grooming centers would likely be more apt. Sheffer's book documents that the Nazis seemed to groom young men with autism for a place in the Reich while young women were discarded. The goal of rearing ubermensch seemed about in line with other Nazi programs like lebensborn.

As for Grunya Sukhareva and Lev Vygotsky, the only material I found when I searched for it was very, very recent - like the Psychology Today article I cited. Grunya Sukhareva and Lev Vygotsky's work itself is in short supply, much like a lot of Soviet intellectuals. This post was intended largely as an inquiry as to why information about this is being revealed as slowly as it is. One theory I have as to why the history of this disorder got so weird and convoluted is exactly that - a lack of context and information given the totalitarianism and tension of WW2 and the Cold War.

Mr. Silberman: Would you be willing to do a Q&A for Dagblog? Podcasts are a bit more popular these days and I know how to produce them. Dagblog has a large audience.

"The involvement of Grunya Sukhareva and Lev Vygotsky in pioneering autism in the USSR has only been revealed recently. This is bizarre to me."

Sorry, but that's not true: My history of autism, "NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity," published in 2015, explored Sukhareva's prescient and vivid descriptions of autistic teenagers in depth.

For the record, Sheffer's "Asperger's Children" was published in 2018, not 2012.

"people like Hans Asperger steered them in to breeding centers for super-children"

What is your citation for this? I've never seen this claim about Asperger. Earnestly curious.

Thanks.
