Awful title.

  If you can suggest a more accurate and neutral title, preferably using language drawn from the article, we'll be happy to change it.

    I'd be up for most anything that's not this unfortunate combination of the article title with the partial title of the book being reviewed; that combo leads to a headline that sounds like it's intending an unfortunate and incorrect (and Nazi-originated, which is the point of the article!) description of kids who have been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome. I'd tentatively suggest "Asperger’s Children: The Origins of Autism in Nazi Vienna (LRB review)" but I'm sure others could come up with better suggestions. Thanks! (To be clear: I'm sure there was zero malice behind this title, it's just an unfortunate display issue.)

      OK, we've replaced the title. I've been thinking recently that for book review articles maybe we should just use the book title anyhow.

  "Unfeeling Malice" is ironic reference to the reviewed book's discovery that Hans Asperger sentenced children to death while using the same phrase himself as a diagnosis of their condition.
