Etymology of AUTISTS

The word "autists" is derived from the term "autism", which originated from the Greek word "autos" meaning "self". The term was first introduced by Swiss psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler in 1911 to describe a condition characterized by an excessive focus on oneself and difficulty in forming social connections. It was later refined by Austrian psychiatrist Leo Kanner in the 1940s to refer specifically to the developmental disorder we now know as autism. The plural form "autists" simply refers to individuals who have autism.
