Sammanfattning
As early as 1926, the Kiev-based child psychiatrist Grunya Efimovna Sukhareva (1891-1981)
published a detailed description of autistic traits in a number of children in a scientific German
psychiatry and neurology journal. She initially used the term " chizoid (eccentric) psychopathy" but
later replaced it with" "autistic (pathological avoidant) psychopathy" to describe the clinical picture of
autism. Her original article was available almost two decades before the case reports of Asperger
and Kanner; nevertheless, Sukhareva's pioneer work has been greatly overlooked. Here we present
her description of autistic psychopathy in relation to the DSM-5 criteria of today.
