[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm watching The Undoing and am intrigued by narcissism. How can you tell your SO is a narcissist? Any telltale signs? I suspect my DH is one.[/quote]

They are on the spectrum and present as selfish, narcissistic, thoughtless, careless. Also lies, omits and gaslights to cover up mistakes, which are frequent.

In reality, they have mind blindness, no foresight, can only talk about their favorite things, and can’t care or take care of anything.

But a true narcissistic can and will use emotion to manipulate, hFA individuals don’t care and are emotionless (unless having a temper tantrum).[/quote]

hFA?[/quote]

High functioning autism= aspergers.  Ok with the speaking and eye contact, Tho will move convos in order to lecture on fave 1-2 topics. [/quote]

High functioning aspergers are in no means narcissists.  Narcissists ooze charm, something somebody with asperger's is incapable of doing.  Narcissists know how to use emotion to use and abuse.  Asperger's are devoid of emotion and have zero EQ.  They wouldn't know how to begin to skillfully manipulate and gaslight someone.[/quote]

I feel like there can be some overlap between autism spectrum and narcissism? It is really hard to describe and articulate though. My ex husband needs a lot of praise and learned to be very superficially charming in many situations despite some pretty pronounced social deficits.  Times when he struggles with reading other people, missing social clues, or completely misinterpreting behavior (autistic tendencies?) it makes him angry and frustrated because others aren't seeing and acknowledging how great he is and giving him the validation he needs (narcissism?).  I am still trying to figure out his behavior and how it has affected me.[/quote]
