      I know, and as someone who is actually diagnosed on the spectrum this infuriates me. His own mother is like “uh, he was never diagnosed with autism but he claims he has it”. Utter bullshit to excuse vile behavior.

        Child euthanasia (German: Kinder-Euthanasie) was the name given to the organized killing of severely mentally and physically disabled children and young people up to 16 years old during the Nazi era in over 30 so-called “special children’s wards”. At least 5,000 children were victims of the program, which was a precursor to the subsequent murder of children in the concentration camps.

        Hans Asperger, who studied autism, was a doctor who was responsible for determining if these children lived or were put to death/experimented on (knowingly or unknowingly so).

          Oh boy did he ever! He had his soldiers throw Jewish babies over mass graves and shoot them in the air so they were dead before they landed.

        And from what I know of trump, I wouldn’t be the least surprised if they end up in the death camps this time too
