With Hans Asperger's help to separate the autistics who were "useful" vs those who were not, the Nazi Party began a campaign against people they called, "useless mouths". Those who needed any sort of socialistic assistance and were not seen as able to contribute sufficiently to the efforts of the party to build a new, stronger Germany were to be culled. Once their society started seeing us that way, and once the mechanics and logistics of large scale Zyklon B production and delivery (and all of what we now call disabled people were gone), they were prepared to go after Jews en mass.
