From the book THE EVERYTHING parent's guide to children with autism by Adelle Jameson Tilton:

the word AUTISM originates from the Greek word autos meaning "self". this disorder was named autism because it was believes to be an excessive preoccupation with oneself originating from a mother who would not love her child. this theory has been proved false, and autism is now recognized as a medical disorder. (p. 2)
