Wikipedia definition
1. Refrigerator mother theoryThe term refrigerator mother was coined around 1950 as a label for mothers of children diagnosed with autism or schizophrenia. These mothers were often blamed for their children's atypical behavior, which included rigid rituals, speech difficulty, and self-isolation. The "refrigerator mother" label was based on the assumption that autistic behaviors stem from the emotional frigidity of the children's mothers.
