Hmm, that seems kind of inconsistent with auto as a prefix elsewhere. E.g., autofellatio, autoimmune, autobiography. It's auto because it's yourself, not another member of the same species.
Though there's also autocrat, which seemingly is on its own and not referring to membership or self.
Autocracy means "absolute rule by one", by "autocrator" (auto+kratos) to describe the Roman Emperor (n. Latin "imperator"), but is from multiple origins at this point. 🖖🏼
