Feeling like a savant and worries of delusion of grandeur

NAS73676

I feel like a savant based on my restricted interests, is this normal? I don't mean to sound like I have delusion of grandeur, but that is this core symptom of ASD that I experience.

I am sorry for being worried that I have delusion of grandeur, some people will think how insane I am if I tell them that I am ten times more intelligent than them.

That is why it is very hard to tell the difference between restricted interests and Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

I am sorry that I said that, but some symptoms of ASD looks very similar to NPD by observation.

  • Most 'Disorders' are based on NeuroTypical Thinking which is not Autistic Thinking. The ability to see where Psychology crosses a line and begins to restructure it's reasoning strictly around NT perspectives and Modes of Operations is important. 

    What you could use is simply a nice dose of values and ethics on being kind, affording dignity. Being careless with our words and merciless to others is how a majority of Autistics feel treated as they grow up. We don't have to pay that back. We can simply learn rules of engaging by helping inspire others rather than stepping on them. 

    A NeuroTypical will know this and choose to extract, deplete and destroy others because it makes them feel good. This is a form of Sadism. It's part of the NT system of hierarchy hard-wired into Tribal inclusiveness. When the Autistic finds strength in better Ethics we can begin to realise that system of thinking doesn't give us a reward like it does for someone who thrives on competition. We thrive, rather on analytical reasoning. And there's nothing more reasonable than choosing to withhold how superior I am when another is struggling and just doesn't have the brain-power to keep up. We can't all be autistic!

    I don't quite agree, some people with ASD have this type of thinking and behaviors too. And being antisocial and sadistic is not neurotypical, it's kind of unhealthy.
