That is when your body starts attacking your own healthy organs and cells. Basically, your immune system is overactive.

Examples are Lupus, Rhuematiod arthritis, schleroderma. There are more, I just can't think of them.

EDIT:
To bronte heights below, no AIDS is NOT an auto immune disorder!! AIDS stands for Aquired Immune Dificiency Syndrome. NOT aquired auto immune disorder!!! AIDS is basically the opposite of an auto immune disorder! Auto immune disorders are overactive immune systems, AIDS is not.
