An acronymis the intital letters or parts of words which make another word.
Like LASER, RADAR or WASP.
An acrostic is a poem, the first letter of each line makes words(s).
ATM, NSFW etc. are not technically acronyms as they do not make pronounceable words. But I can't remember what that's called, possibly just an abbreviation.
