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.

  • I sometimes think like that, then discover the NT's don't want that depth of knowledge and intensity of focus on a subject!  Once won 3 pints of beer for being able to speak about any subject (They chose frogs) for ten minutes non stop..  Can't do office politics though where the size of your wheels on your BMW seems to equate to your intelligence and social standing, ironically I believe the exact opposite of that!
