Assuming both conditions are genetically influenced... our son has a shot at the co morbid ASD/NPD status. I'll let yall know how that goes, eventually... right now he is 8, and seemingly NT-ish. Socially capable, kind, bright, spirited. Although... he does have an obsessive interest, and on rare occasions will blow my mind by weaving a significant web of lies (That are actually well orchestrated and believable well beyond what an 8 year old should be capable of)... so, you know, we'll see how that goes.
Well my grandma has a lot of simmilarities, especially to my routines, but when you look at it closely enough, she just fullfills the diagnostic criteria of OCPD (obsessive compulsive personality disoder). There are a lot of disorders who ar genetically connected to the ASD spectrum and also share some symptoms, but don't necesserally have to be ASD.
