| This term was coined by Anne A Lawrence in ''Clinical and theoretical parallels between desire for limb amputation and gender identity disorder'' in 2006<ref>[https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16799838/ Lawrence A. A. (2006). Clinical and theoretical parallels between desire for limb amputation and gender identity disorder]. Archives of sexual behavior, 35(3), 263–278. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10508-006-9026-6.</ref>. She remarks that Kurt Freund and Ray Blanchard have described this phenomenon in ''Erotic Target Location Errors in Male Gender Dysphorics, Paedophiles, and Fetishists''<ref>[https://psycnet.apa.org/record/1993-41671-001 Freund, K., & Blanchard, R. (1993). Erotic target location errors in male gender dysphorics, paedophiles, and fetishists]. The British Journal of Psychiatry, 162, 558–563. https://doi.org/10.1192/bjp.162.4.558.</ref>, but did not name it.<br>

| Autopedophilia was primarily studied with help of map research participants (according to one study, 49.1% of surveyed pedophiles and hebephiles were autopedophilic<ref>[https://www.thecut.com/2016/11/heres-a-new-discovery-about-pedophiles.html Here’s a Weird New Discovery About Pedophiles], Jesse Singal, The Cut.</ref>), so it shared some of the stigma, and [[non-MAP|non-maps]] weren't eager to adopt this term. Instead they called themselves littles or ageplayers, which are close, but not necessarily similar concepts.<br>

| Nowadays words "autonepiophilia", "autohebephilia", "autoephebophilia" are used in the map community for extra precision. The umbrella term "automap" was coined by Pawkips on October 14, 2021<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20220828212842/http://queerpedia.info/index.php?title=Auto-MAP Auto-MAP], Queerpedia via Wayback Machine.</ref>. However, in popular psychology all these concepts are still grouped under "autopedophilia".<br>

| It is important to note that autopedophilia should not be mistaken for being transage (identifying as another age, not necessarily younger).
