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 ...
