Asperger Syndrome should be replaced by Grunya or Sukareva Syndrome

NAS69295

A Russian Jewish child Psychiatrist wrote notes on Autism in 1925 nineteen years before Hans Asperger.   Her name was GRUNYA SUKHAREVA..  Calling it Asperger Syndrome is not even accurate as Hans Asperger discovered it nineteen years later.  He probably read what she wrote but did not mention it as he was a member of the Nazi party so he could not admit a Jew had discovered it nineteen years earlier and by 1944 Germany was at war with Russia.  We should call it either GRUNYA OR SUKHAREVA SYNDROME AFTER HER.  It would not be any more difficult to pronounce than Asperger or sound any stranger.  Hans Asperger was a member of the Nazi party accused of sending disabled children to be murdered in Vienna as the *** were great believers in  EUTHANASIA for disabled people.  The *** did not only murder Jews they also murdered lots of disabled people Gypsies Gay people.

  •  I mean Aspergers has been depreciated as a term anyway in favour of other terms like autism spectrum disorder.

    Only in the US that uses DSM. AS exists in ICD-10 that is still current. It technically exists as a distinct condition in ICD-11.

    The US was the first to get rid of the term Asperger long before it came out that Hans Asperger helped with the Euthanasia policy.  Here in London, the NAS changed the name from Asperger United to Spectrum of a magazine because Hans Asperger was discovered to be complicit in the murder of disabled people.  The term Asperger in the US was got rid of in DSM5 but other countries continued to use it.  The rest of the world is following the US so the term Asperger would have gone without the controversy as they want to make Autism one spectrum.  The problem with that how does one label people with Autistic traits who are not really Autistic?  Some of those could really be brain damaged and not really Autistic.  I fell out of a pram when I was a baby and had a difficult birth. I have perception problems which means I cannot recognize people and I get lost.  In 1976 a Psychiatrist said I was mildly Autistic that is how I came to have the label, Asperger.  I expect they are going back to the label mildly Autistic.

    I have not heard of this one before. You might just be a one-off exception.

    Over the years I have encountered numerous people who were referred to psychologists in the 1980s and early 1990s that were later (after 1995ish) diagnosed with AS but none of them had previously been diagnosed with any form of autism.

    Published literature from the 1970s about mild autism as the precursor to what (after 1991) became recognised as Asperger Syndrome is scant. There was no evidence that AS was being co-discovered slowly and gradually in Britain.

    People with AS most definitely are not brain damaged.
