      Lmao, you can be autistic and other things including a narcissist. In any case, I doubt you’ve ever been diagnosed by anyone other than google.

      Ya the economy is rough, and it’s probably harder to keep a job when you’re addicted to being a dick. It’s always someone else’s fault, isn’t it?

      Put yourself in other peoples shoes for once in your life and realize that your behavior is heavy and just drags people down and ruins their day. You refuse to acknowledge your problem in any real way and actively enable yourself.

      Stop wallowing in your own filth and walk away from the computer when you start having an episode, it’s literally that simple.

          Autism and narcissism can co-occur.

          Research has indicated that individuals with autism could develop narcissistic-like behavior as a way to handle social challenges.

          Directly from the article you just posted.

          Have you been officially diagnosed? It’s really easy to put autist next to your name and pretend, using it as an excuse to be a complete asshat.

          I have friends with autism and it doesn’t make any of them assholes. You are using it as an excuse as to blame anyone but yourself for your abrasive and draining personality.

          You’re poor because of the economy and no one like you because of your autism and blah blah blah. Grow the fuck up and find a way to deal with your problems without making it everyone else’s problem around you, take some responsibility.

          Your behavior is pathetic.

            You know this conversation has been challenging to read. The guy you are talking to is clearly an arsehole through and through, and I have also had the displeasure of dealing with them. I do though think you have to be cognizant of the fact that most people with autism do not have full time employment, and is isn’t all our fault. Some of the world does conspire against autistic people since we are a minority up to an including attempted genocide of us and other disabled people.

            That being said you are 100% correct that autistic people can have personality disorders including narcissism. It’s especially funny you managed to find evidence of that within their own source, and they have had to go back and delete the comment. I hope they go and reflex upon there behavior and that’s it’s not something serious like narcissism that’s caused them to act like this. Narcissists do require some amount of sympathy as it’s not their fault they ended up that way - it is primarily the products of psychological trauma and genetics after all.

              I completely agree with you. I was essentially being as harsh as I could allow myself to be to drive my point across that outright and constant hostility makes for a poor community. My bad if it came off as insensitive, my goal doesn’t really excuse how I went about it.

                I think when dealing with these types of people being harsh is very much warranted. They earned a harsh response based on their general behavior on this forum. I could easily be as harsh or more if someone managed to piss me off. So you’re tone was actually justified and you shouldn’t be too harsh on yourself.

                You do have to be very careful not to implicate anyone who isn’t at fault, and that includes unemployed disabled people including autistic people. That also includes people with personality disorders who are regularly thrown under the bus in a world where the majority Them being unemployed or poor or what have you is as much the fault of society as it is their bad attitude - no one should be poor in an ideal world. That’s all I wanted to make clear. That being said there are plenty of disabled people including autistic people who are just arse holes, and it’s fine to call them that too.

                I sincerely hope we find a way to effectively treat narcissism and other personality disorders one day. It causes as much suffering to the individual in question as it does the people around them.
