Grunya Sukhareva, the First Person to Identify Autism | by The Autlaw

Hans Asperger’s career at a Vienna children’s hospital, seen here in 1921, blossomed in tandem with a Nazi program to euthanize children with disabilities. — Courtesy of Wellcome Library, London.

Only thing is a side note that multiple groups were devastated by the Holocaust. I am a member of 3 of those groups (Rroma Gypsies, Russian, disabled).

It was hate, not just specifically anti-Semitism. Autistics have every reason to be just as vocal because of the horrors the disabled suffered during the Holocaust, as we were also one of those groups. The disabled were gruesomely tortured with experiments. Sukhareva’s research being buried, leading to many of us girls not being diagnosed early (or at all), is a direct result of what Hitler and his fellow monsters thought about, and did to, the disabled.
