Autism as a term was first introduced in 1911 by Eugen Bleuler, although the understanding of the condition has evolved significantly since then. Tylenol, or acetaminophen, was discovered in the late 19th century, but it became widely used as an over-the-counter medication in the 1950s. Both claims about the years are largely accurate.
