I believe authographic is an orthographic variant of autographic, and
autographic is a misapplied name for orthographic :-)
autograph: n. 1. a. a handwritten signature, esp. that of a famous person.b.
(as modifier): an autograph album.2. a person's handwriting.3. a. a book,
document, etc., handwritten by its author; original manuscript; holograph.b.
(as modifier): an autograph letter. [C17: from Late Latin, from Greek
autographos, from autos self + graphein to write]
orthographic or orthographical: adj. of or relating to spelling.
Foreign language speakers have the advantage that they have to look up words
all the time ...
