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.
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.
It could be the way we operate and function that makes us more prone to come across narcissists in our lives.
When I was undergoing intensive psychotherapy, the therapist commented that my ex partners had psychopathic tendencies and were narcissistic. I also had a circle of 'friends' at the time that were also preying on me in the same way. The therapist warned me that the way I operated and understood the world, would make me a prime target for this type of person. This was before my ASD diagnosis, but I have always been on my guard now and have been better at spotting potential threats.
