I don't feel very normal. I feel like maybe I should be locked up. I feel like my family has been keeping this a secret from me my whole life in hopes I'd just grow out of it or something. Maybe they don't even know. Hard to imagine though.

I don't "feel normal" either :alien: but normal is not the be-all and end-all of living. the orange-haired man in the white house [and his supporters] are "normal" as well, so don't put "normal" up on a pedestal. as a far wiser person said, "be who you are and say what you feel, because the people who matter don't mind, and the people who mind, don't matter."

I hope it's ok to ask questions in this thread. hi auntblabby!

Can a person be an Aspie/HFA and be a malignant narcissist?

What is the difference between Narcissistic Personality Disorder and a malignant narcissist, if anything?

Thank you!

^^^hiya Britte :flower: it seems to me, that a "malignant narcissist" is the popular term that some use to refer to some garden-variety sociopaths, and in turn the term "sociopath" is used to refer to people dx'ed with/adjudged to have antisocial personality disorder.

Malignant narcissism is a psychological syndrome comprising an extreme mix of narcissism, antisocial personality disorder, aggression, and sadism. Often grandiose, and always ready to raise hostility levels, the malignant narcissist undermines organizations in which they are involved, and dehumanizes the people with whom they associate.

^^^^wish I could answer that definitively. I can only relate that in retrospect [30+ years ago] I was in the army with people who in my modern judgment seemed to be on the aspie spectrum but also had certain sociopathic behavioral traits.

Yeah, I was about to say - scoring high on the histrionic and avoidant scales seems like a contradiction.

Histrionic personality disorder is defined by the American Psychiatric Association as a personality disorder characterized by a pattern of excessive attention-seeking emotions, usually beginning in early adulthood, including inappropriately seductive behavior and an excessive need for approval.

People who are avoidant go out of their way to make sure they have no attention-seeking behaviours.

To be honest I thought Histrionic Disorder was something else and what you've written sounds like the complete opposite to me.
