Do you know you are not like other 'normal people but could' quite understand what made you different? Have you researched traits that you have but they never quite fit into any box? Have you ever wondered if you fit the NPD box but it doesn't feel quite right? 'Autism (ASD) and Narcissism (NPD) both involve social challenges but differ fundamentally in motivation: Autism stems from neurodevelopmental deficits in understanding social cues, leading to struggles with empathy and communication, while Narcissism involves an inflated ego, fragile self-esteem, and a deliberate lack of empathy to manipulate or gain admiration. Autistic individuals may seem self-centered due to intense interests or difficulty reading people, but often care deeply; narcissists genuinely lack empathy and use others for validation, driven by deep insecurity. Share your experiences, stories and share questions for peers to consider and offer feedback based on their experiences.
