The toxic interaction between Autism and Narcissism

NAS15974
over 6 years ago

I've been looking into psychosocial dynamics of why a developmental disorder and and a personality disorder can be so destructive to the wellbeing of both individual sufferers when in the presence of one another. They appear to operate as polar opposites in terms of dysfunctions of nature.

  • A narcissist project hurt down to others to get them to satisfy their needs.
  • An autist reflect hurt back to themselves into a meltdown of needs.
  • NT's simply help each other with their needs.

The solution to this is to break apart the cycle of suffering that enables the perpetuated spiral of emotionally negative transactions. Physical distancing may very well be necessary to help the situation of toxic transmissions of hate and fear.

Once separated, realisation of ones own grief is necessary to ensure that psychic losses are contained and accepted within the confines of their own environment. Only when awareness of compromised psychic defences has been realised that healing can truely take place without risk of future breakdown. Any length of intervention can only be determined by the end users decision making capacity for their own welfare.

Please note that these are my own thoughts as a male aspie that has been brought up by narcissistic mother for almost 2 decades and is still struggling with the fallout of psych-ache.

    I struggle with abuse and often was dismissed and pushed around by others (can’t really identify whether they’re narcissistic or not) and people saw me as making excuses for my mental health problems.

    I was seen as hostile while they got to push my buttons to make me lose it. I have a very hypersensitive emotional brain, something that I don’t believe many people in the spectrum have. I’ve been ostracized by my own community and baited into believing I’m their friend so people can slowly belittle and mock me.

    Every time I discuss my feelings about my hypersensitivity, I get laughed at and given the “there are people worse off than you/no one else had your problems, so what’s your point?” treatment. And when I confront their behavior, they will yell at me and accuse me of being hostile and self-centered. I’m told I should let people be themselves because they’re autistic as well, meanwhile I don’t have the right to express myself freely.

    ok, I’ll shut up now.
