Join us for this chilling episode of Spine-Chilling Chats Podcast as Ang takes us back to the Nazi-era to unravel the disturbing history behind Asperger Syndrome. Once a widely recognized diagnosis on the autism spectrum, its origins are far darker than most realize. We’ll dive into the controversial legacy of Hans Asperger, his involvement in Nazi-era eugenics programs, and the ethical questions that still haunt the medical community today. Together we’ll expose the hidden past of a condition that has impacted countless lives—without many knowing its grim beginnings. **Trigger warning for descriptions of child abuse, child murder and mention of the Nazi party. Please take care while listening.
