Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Coined in the early 20th century, the term derives from the Neo-Latin 'autismus' (from the Greek 'autos', meaning 'self'), initially used in psychiatry to describe withdrawal into oneself. Over decades, its clinical and social definitions evolved significantly to describe a distinct neurodevelopmental profile characterized by differences in communication, social interaction, and sensory processing.
