How would Autistics be treated if the Axis won WW2?

Post Reply New Topic

For high functioning autistics in nazi Germany i think sterilization would be a more likely outcome then Involuntary euthanasia.

we would be condemned

I will create a separate thread about the authors book in the media section as this is a very important topic.

The many aspies who go undetected and parse normal would be fine, I have do doubt a many served in the Germany military and probably a few were in the Nazi government.
They’d just be seen as odd. But many of the Nazi government including hitler had disorders which under their policy would have them killed. Nazis like any organization were hypocrites. Most of them weren’t blonde with blue eyes. Maybe they hated themselves and so sought to kill others like them in some sick way of dealing with their self hatred?

Very good points, Sly. And very, very true.

Hitler was a dark-haired Austrian, not a blond, blue-eyed German. His posture wasn't particularly good. He was of slightly below average height. He just didn't look like your "ideal German."

Heinrich Himmler looked nothing like a Germanic "Aryan"; he looked like a Mongol, actually.

I wonder how Italy (Assuming they replace Germany) and Japan would of viewed us Autistics if they won ww2 as well.

how does japan treat autistic folk there now?

Not sure about that. The Nazis tolerated little deviation from their norms, and those norms required dedication to approved groups and working in approved groups, all while the corruption that comes with totalitarianism leads to lots of internal politicking, constantly changing coalitions, written rules being bent and broken, unwritten rules changing all the time. I don't think even undetected aspies would fare that well. And if you know you're odd, add the pressure of knowing that you might be done away with for the good of "racial hygiene". Doesn't sound fine to me.

People who were considered to be "asocial" were sent off to the camps along with the Gypsies, Jews, communists, Jehovah's Witnesses and homosexuals, so the answer to this question is pretty obvious.
