Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Greek root 'autos' meaning 'self', combined with the German psychiatric suffix '-istisch' (coined by psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler in 1911 as 'autsch' or 'autismus' to describe withdrawal into one's own inner world). It evolved through mid-20th-century clinical psychology to describe developmental conditions characterized by challenges with social interaction and communication.
