A review by smallredboy
Asperger's Children: The Origins of Autism in Nazi Vienna by Edith Sheffer

challenging dark emotional informative medium-paced

4.5

I am shattered. Deeply evocative, dark book that upset me greatly. Made me think a lot about Asperger's as a label—especially as someone who is autistic—and what it means today. The descriptions of the child euthanasia program were chilling and the testimonies of survivors were horrifying. I am glad to have learned about it.
