I recommend this article, which provides an excellent introduction to the history both of the term autism and the ways in which the label has been applied to a changing set of human characteristics, in line with changing scientific and diagnostic approaches. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Or read one of Dr Evans' journal articles on the issue - you can access a list of publications through this link. research.manchester.ac.uk/en/persons/b...

Autism is back on the front pages. Why not read the book that my excellent @manchester.ac.uk @manchstm.bsky.social colleague Dr Bonnie Evans has published on the history of autism? It's open access and you can read it online for free. www.manchesterhive.com/display/9781...
