Much broader than title suggests submitted by mrajraspn08 on August 14, 2018, 8:17pm Title is very misleading. It's barely about "Asperger's children." Still an interesting book on eugenics, and what it does tell of Asperger is interesting and surprising. Worth a read, just know that it deviates from the title.
