  • As for the Wikipedia I read, people in BNW are selective breading for intelligence, which is at least somewhat proven, so it’s still better, than AS, who just seek to discriminate against autistics, which shouldn’t even be considered as a bad trait. So it’s worse, than the movies. PS: Thanks for the bonus movie recommendations.





  • Wow thanks. My mother often verbaly attacks me for not showing empathy (for example, when we were watching a shitty movie about a sociopath manipulating and murdering a family, I said I have no empathy for them, as they should have noticed the sighs and got rid of him while they had a chance).

    • Some of these actually describe me:

    • Sense of self-importance - I think, I should be considered above average in intelligence.

    • Preoccupation with power, beauty, or success  - When I describe myself, I make small changes to my behavior and things I say (probably just masking).

    • Entitled - If someone does something to me, I perceive unfair, I make sure they suffer.

    • Interpersonally exploitative for their own gain - only if linked to the last statement

    • Lack empathy - to people I hate or perceive bad.

    • Must be admired - My self esteem falls if nobody tells me i’m significantly above average in something.

    • Envious of others or believe that others are envious of them - I used to envy my classmate, who was described as a genius by the whole class. Later this fell apart as he stopped learning as much. Now, he is percieved as a unsympathetic, self centered person.













  • As an officially diagnosed autistic and a self diagnosed narcisist, I can’t agree more. Like autism, sociopathy is also a spectrum. As a sociopath you can be a dangerous person or a complete pacifist. I know a lot of people, who I would consider dangerous, but I wouldn’t consider sociopaths. On the other hand, I also met some sociopaths, who I wouldn’t consider dangerous.
