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.

A key area of difference is that, despite their emotional aloofness, narcissists frequently develop good social skills--in a sense. They may be able to put on a highly sociable façade when trying to impress someone but let that diminish once they have an established commitment from that person. They can also manipulate people to their selfish advantage and feel no anxiety about lying to someone.


Well, I have asperger and I have developped good social skills. I felt curious and just checked a test about Narcissistic Personality Disorder and it seems that I'm quite far from being Narcissistic.

So I would say that being asperger and having good social skills doens't involve, necessarily, being narcissistic.

Because generalizing based on a bad experience with one person is very logical.
