Are people with autism borderline sociopaths?
I don't think Fraac is an uncover sociopath pretending to be an Aspie, as others have suggested. it looks that way but I think if you quiz him you might end up accepting his neurology is actually what he says, autistic + narcissism.
Miss Kitty Fantastico puts her finger on it by patiently asking Fraac, once again, to actually define and explain what he means. All along he was simply talking about "whats on the outside" and "whats on the inside" and he is not saying Aspies are sociopaths or saying anyone is one. But he didn’t communicate that successfully, as he has been using his own short code. Nor did he feel the need to clarify when it started to fail.
Instead Fraac mate, you just criticised others understanding of English, when in fact they simply couldn’t read your mind. What a fekkin cheeky bastard
If you do care, use less of your short code and use fuller English instead? Its sub-optimal I know (
The term "functionally sociopathic", could have been phrased “In a lot of contexts Aspies can seem sociopaths on the outside, but of course inside we are very different” Then it wouldn't seem like you were saying autistics are sociopaths. Surely you want to learn from people? (and not as actually happened, just irritate sores, seem like you are trolling, or raise suspicions you are an undercover sociopath who wants to pretend to be an Aspie? )
Autistics are not the 2D robots you project (super-smart, super-rational, super-honest, super-logical, unemotional). That would be simpler for your overall model, which as you have basically said in other threads requires NTs are 2D nob-ends (stupid, irrational, emotional, lying monkeys). I think you prize your superior autistic mind - but then don't see WP as a community of individuals with complex feelings. I think rather you see it as a database to be interrogated for answers regards your 'special interest'. How do you deal with complexity generally?
You are superbly confident in your analysis - no doubt you are smart, but your emotional intelligence is letting you down big time. Do you meet people in your life who you learn from? You will not understand the very heart of your special interest, until you get those 2D 'types' to become 3D individuals with complex emotions that will never fit any model. Don't accept this until you have your own evidence, so therefore you need to go gather evidence in the real world. Meet some real people, test yourself, test your model, practice liking people? You might find you enjoy it
No I don't accept someone is a narcissist and autistic considering the two clash.
No, I don't accept someone is an autistic narcissist considering the two clash.
If you've ever known of someone who is a narcissist, you'd find someone who is embarrassed when that person is in the same room with a shy person or someone who is obviously autistic considering it is viewed of as cramping one's style. They tend to look down on that sort of behavior and often see nice people as those who are trying to steal their limelight out to make them look bad for being really nice without a fake mask. They also view nice people as people to exploit. How exactly would that work with autism?
How can someone be considered autistic and narcissist? Explain.
Notice the over use of emoticons? Do you feel like somehow it appears fake?
People who try to fool people often resort to over use of emotion or even on the internet emoticons but it's just not really working on me.
Why should I trust your opinions when you already wrote. "I'm NT and I was born a natural liar."
No, I don't accept someone is an autistic narcissist considering the two clash.
I agree with that.....and I'd add hearing someone say "I am a narcissist" makes one of my eyebrows lift in an interrogative manner. Narcissists are in such deep denial, I cannot see this sentence without thinking "lie". Only a sociopath could try to pass as a narcissist .... Noone else would WANT to, for one, and a narcissist couldn't admit he's one.

Its lots of people on WP discussing narcissism and then it develops into a discussion where people are arguing you cant be a narcicisst and autistic at the same time. Including me, I couldnt see it myself but by the end of it I just felt you cant argue against Fraac describing himself. However much it seems counter to the autistic traits, you have to imagine someone born with autism, whose life experience shapes them into a narcissist.
I'm sorry you dont like the emoticons, they weren't for you, I was talking to fraac. I was trying to show some warmth cos I felt people were misunderstanding him, due to poor communication.
Why are you pissed with me? Explain?
I'm not trying to fool anyone. I'm just sharing an opinion that those who suggested he was an undercover sociopath might change their opinions if you talk to him more. He's autistic + NPD.

I'm not particularly fluent at forums, I didn't know I was over using them, I have hardly used them in my life before.
You have taken my quote about lying out of context, why would you do that? Thats really unfair.
It was a response to me saying autistics are generally bad liars (therefore poor ineffective sociopaths). A poster on this thread responded to me to say they were autistic and a good liar. I said everyone could learn to lie but for some its easy, I talked about my childhood lying and how I couldn't sustain a lie as an adult.
Why would you manipulate that, to basically say f**k my opinion, I'm a liar?
Why?
Having narcissistic tendencies perhaps because you picked them up from being around narcissists growing up does not make you full blown NPD and if that is the case, therapy can help. It's very hard for me to imagine someone who likes to berate, emotionally drain and abuse people while appearing to be charming and likeable to those who might be used for some beneficial purpose to manipulate all while being autistic with problems of theory of mind therefore not being able to manipulate well all while being abused by others for being autistic all while dealing with sensory issues, not like being in crowded places and having to recharge because of being drained of your energy by being around stimuli+people all while loving and craving attention often insulting those who steal your limelight dealing with narcissistic injuries from perceived slights vowing for revenge all while being autistic not liking confrontation all while having such high narcissistic self esteem while having low self esteem for lack of understandings of bad social skills.
He cannot be a full blown narcissist and autistic. Also, he's agreed before in the past that he fit 11 out of 12 traits of sociopath. If you really understood what it is like to even be mildly autistic, maybe you would understand just how insulting it is for someone to wear your condition as a mask. I can guarantee you a sociopath or NPD passing themselves off as also autistic uses it as a crutch anytime they mess up and then say "Because of my autism" which is highly insulting to those who can't even do that without someone telling you off meanwhile a manipulative social predator knows how to tug on people's emotions and have people side with them.
Just because liars and manipulators usually get their way and people agreeing with them over usually persistence and insistence on their skewed logic doesn't mean it will work everywhere.
I have a natural distrust of anyone who considers themselves a natural liar. If it works for you in general and you are capable of getting whatever you want...that's fine but that doesn't mean that I am going to coddle you and feed on your insistence and twisted logic. THAT is called enabling. I am not going to enable you or Fraac.
You sound like you know him and you are here to defend him. You have 88 posts. It sure must be nice to have friends to sucker into doing your own dirty work.... I am being sarcastic by the way...
In the long run, it all tumbles down.
A lot of autistics are very defensive, and I think they often don't realise they're being defensive. I'm defensive lately so I can see how that would happen. When your mind is churning away trying to make sense of things and you don't get enough raw information material to work with, you get stuck on particular ideas. I do it myself, as you've seen, because I'm depressed and I don't go out much.
Re narcissism+autism: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissist ... tic_injury - 'narcissistic rage' - I totally get this! That time I mentioned where I was rude to a customer, it was because he tutted at me for not being quick enough in serving him. If I wasn't autistic I would have beaten him to a pulp on the spot. Instead I was abstract from the intense rage and I calmly told him to suck my cock.

This is a massive communication failure. You know nothing about me! I 'know' fraac through a couple of threads on WP and I hate it when people misunderstand each other when they dont have all the info, and I love it when people are concilliatory and learn.
I told a simple story about lying as a kid, WTF? I'm ultra honest and open now, which is why I shared on online forum that as a kid I lied to my parents (simply so they didn't worry about me!)
I'm just being honest and saying I was born a successful liar, particularly as a kid, as an adult I dont lie because I cant sustain it due to guilt. f**k I was just being honest. People lie, kids lie all the time, as an adult I dont. Two of the people I love most are autistic, and im very close to the challenges you describe.
You are completely misunderstanding me, I'm sorry if I rubbing you up the wrong way for any reason. i'd stick in an emoticon cos I thought they warmed things up a little, but that ain't gonna work!
Ha! Pernicious lies! You have just defeated your own self defense!
Everyone knows that true friendship and goodwill among humans is built upon a foundation of emoticons!

Ha ha. Do I use the little f*****s or not? I used 3 in a very long post, does that really make me seem fake? I need to know so I can continue my pernicious manipulation and lying successfully?
I don't want to offend anyone on WP. I'm just wanting to learn stuff.
I'm rather fond of the emoticons, they make me smile and smiling is good. Thats my first non-smiley up there. I'm an emoticon virgin for all the rest, except hearts. I'm very tempted by the little men but I'm not yet confident I know how to use them.
Take the little f*****s away, I'm not fake and that matters to me.
Thats what I thought. Everytime I was making a point that could be taken the wrong way, I grin like a chimp to show friendliness. Is that fake? You can't see peoples face online so these funny little things seem to help a bit.
I use them all the time in texts. Its totally ridiculous I can be feeling low and some radio waves received by some solid state physics are received in me 'blackberry' and then decoded as smiley faces, and I smile back at them!
I remember smiles, I love grinning. Look it helps everything

Of course, if you talk to a Narcissist MORE,, you'll end up believing him. Same thing goes for sociopaths, I believe. But that's because you skeem over the vagueness , you fill in his blanks ("huh? oh, I'm sure he meant "this", right, ok.") and make his point for him in your mind based on just the key words he used, and so on. He's making a point of remaining unclear, as they do. So you can just make whatever out of his post based on your own internal wiring.
All while losing my looks, all while having self-awareness of all that. Yes. If you could imagine it you would see why I'm depressed lately. I'm going to try yoga, see if that helps.
All while not emotionally processing what Theygomew said, otherwise you would see how these clash hard enough to be mutually exclusive, unless you have Dissociative Identity Disorder.......................
believing what? thats he's a got NPD? he has disclosed that FFS.
Is it simply the autism diagnosis you cant accept? because autism = nice and NPD = nasty?
They are my thoughts, Aspies are nice. Narcissists are psychopaths and they are never nice. Nice matters to me. I've known one psychopaths/sociopath properly and I ran away in time. I'm not sticking up for people who dont care about others. I care deeply about people, I cant imagine life without caring. I ran away from a sociopath when I was 23 and thank f**k.
But for just one minute, imagine what that would be like if it was true that you are born autistic and then become narcisstiic on top. If morality is ruled by the autism, then personally I'm sympathetic and tolerant. It is actually possible to have benign narcissism, its still f****d but its harmless. I know nothing about this other than the description of behaviours given at the end of that thread. I had come to expect tolerance from WP, because my brief experience tells me its a superbly tolerant place. One where people can chat and learn from each other.
I would never confuse sociopathy with autism, but I can see how a born autistic could then also have NPD.
Glad it ain't me. I have enough trouble getting out of bed.
