Grunya Sukhareva
Grunya Efimovna Sukhareva (Груня Ефимовна Сухарева) (November 11, 1891 – April 26, 1981) was a Soviet child psychiatrist. She was first who published a detailed description of autistic symptoms,[1] in Russian 1925 and in German a year later. She initially used the term “schizoid (meaning of the time: eccentric) psychopathy” but later replaced it with “autistic (pathological avoidant) psychopathy” to describe the clinical picture of autism. The article was created almost two decades before the case reports of Hans Asperger and Leo Kanner while Sukhareva's pioneer work remained unnoticed.[2]
