It is not just gossip. He was complicit in multiple murders. His work, such as it was, was based on only 4 cases.

Decided to add something.

Notice also how Leo Kanner only published about autism in 1943, writing about just one child. Wonder why? The two doctors Hamburger and Asperger replaced, Frankl and Weiss, went to the US to work with Kanner. Yet none of them wrote about specific children until 1943, after the US was in the war, after the US turned about face about eugenics,, and after Kanner could do due dilligence to make sure that he could write about the Donald T case and not endanger the child.

You, as your comment indicated, have left a paper trail about having Asperger's. I'm an MIT alum, and know quite a few people who could be diagnosed without raising any eyebrows. But already "autism" is a term of abuse in the chan crowds, and Asperger's history is worth keeping in mind in that regard.

Also noteworthy, "autism" is the boogeyman of the antivax movement.
