She was the first to ever speak about “autism” yet society doesn’t even know about her .

Yet society knows Leo Kanner and Hans Asperger , the later being an actual n@zi

How history forgot the woman who defined autism
Grunya Sukhareva characterized autism nearly two decades before Austrian doctors Leo Kanner and Hans Asperger. So why did the latter get all the credit?

Remember that early autism research is connected to the Action T4 Eugenics Campaign by the Nazis and that is why more autistic people are starting to reject the term "Asperger's" for just Autism or ASD. #actuallyautistic #autism #autismhistory #politics #history

Rob McConnell Interviews - JON MICA - The Autistic Holocaust
In this deeply sobering and important conversation, Jon Mica addresses The Autistic Holocaust, examining historical and modern systems that have marginalized, dehumanized, and harmed individuals on the autism spectrum. Mica explores how discriminatory policies, forced institutionalization, eugenics ideology, and social neglect—past and present—have contributed to widespread suffering within the neurodivergent community. This discussion is not about shock value, but awareness: highlighting forgotten history, ongoing challenges, and the urgent need for dignity, inclusion, and protection of autistic lives. A powerful dialogue that calls for education, accountability, and compassion in how society understands and treats neurodivergent individuals.

I’m not sure if Tik Tok works here but this is a cry for acknowledgment from our neurodivergent community.

We all want to help. So pay attention

Stand against the Autism justification for E. whenever you see it.
