Eh, I wouldn't immediately believe that. OP is playing fast and loose with their facts in this post. The first diagnosis of autism wasn't until 1943, so how did they differentiate it from schizophrenia in 1911?

Did a little digging and apparently the name was coined in 1910-1911 as a symptom of schizophrenia.
