Child psycopaths/narcists with AS

Post Reply New Topic

mm the cruelty and 'grandiosity' is very sociopath. I can understand why people want to pass themselves off as having AS, but it doesn't help us. The only thing that strikes me as AS about your story is the honesty and frankness of admitting to your cruelty and grandiosity, but then sociopaths don't care what others think.

'light' sociopathy is actually pretty (NT) normal, as is 'light' narcissism. My mother was a narcissist and it's something I've tried to eradicate from my personality as I never want to be like her.

It sounds like there is definitely some narcissism there, along with anti-social, or another personality disorder. dunno about the AS

I have trouble with small talk, interacting with large groups (when it's not one sided), and interacting with preppy neurotypicals. I am much better with one on one or one on two communication. I absolutely love to negotiate and reason in order to get past the rules. It often works because I know how to think two steps ahead and can be very persuasive. I am aggressive by nature and arguing is my passion. People tell me I would make an excellent attorney.

Odd as this sounds, while you might well have some other kind of sociopathic disorder, I don't think you're a true narcissist.

You clearly realize there's a problem, and you realize that the problem is in fact within you, the way your mind works. The vast majority of narcissists think that they're perfect and that it's anyone who dares thwart their mighty will who has the problem. Also, while they're the most manipulative creatures on God's earth, they'd never admit to it like you just did. (And they're usually manipulative enough to make rather more of a success of their lives than you have, although I suppose it depends what you regard as 'success'.)

You will get the odd narcissist who admits to what they are and will use it, as they use everything and everyone else, to their advantage. (Look up Sam Vaknin for one such person, who actually spends his time informing people of the dangers of narcissism. He's not a mental health professional, and other people in the field are convinced it's mostly an ego trip on his part.) Such cases are, however, pretty rare. I think.

Sociopaths of other kinds may not care what others think of them, but narcissists definitely do. Image is everything to them. Your cosmetic surgery and designer clothes fit that, but admitting you have a mental health problem of any kind doesn't. So if you are a narcissist, I think you're an unusual one.

By the way,

kids (especially those with other difficulties of all kinds) can have oppositional defiant disorder but that's generally still a far cry from psychopathy.

Lots of kids with ADHD (hyperactive type) have ODD.

Your thinking sounds rather grandiose. Have you ever been treated for mania?

Hi Zoonic.
I am much the same way as you are and I can explain why you are the way that you are. The reason you are a narcissist/sociopath (not a psychopath) is because your mother was one, and she was one because her mother was one. It has nothing to do with asperger's. When you were a baby (you were an extremely sensitive and emotionally intuitive baby) you were traumatized by your mother's lack of true love for you and were made to feel worthless, and my guess is that deep down you have always felt worthless even if not on the surface of your being. Since you have always felt worthless you have always tried to make others feel the same way you do, and try to be better than other people to make them admire you. When you interact with the world you do not use your true self, you use a false self.

Have you ever taken the MBTI personality test? My guess is that you are either an INFP or an ENFP, which is basically a personality type that is deeply empathic and caring about other people, and understands people extremely well. It is the nature of your true self to be kind to other people, however your disconnection from your true self and lack of love and self respect cause you to act the way you usually do and hate people subconsciously. This is because you hate yourself subconsciously. Hitler was exactly the same way, as am I. The difference is that I am now trying to heal my emotional trauma I have suffered through my life from my narcissistic mother as well as being a sensitive aspie in a world full of harsh NT's.

If you want healing (which is possible no matter what any professional or internet site claims) you just have to get in touch with your true self with meditation and start clearing emotional debris and feeling pains and negative thoughts you have suppressed. This is a painful and lengthy process which I understand you may not have the desire to go through, but it is the only way for you to become the person nature intended you to be.
