Context
While the full extent of Hans Asperger s collaboration with the Nazis remains contested, documented evidence exists that he referred children to the infamous Am Spiegelgrund clinic; it is unlikely that he was unaware of the fact this clinic practiced child euthanasia under the Nazi s Aktion T4 program.
Origin

Wing chose that name as a reference to Austrian psychiatrist Hans Asperger, whose case reports Wing used to define the syndrome.
