As autism awareness has increased, it has become a sort of social justice issue to insist that females are just as likely to be autistic as males, but that autism in females tends to present differently than autism in males.

Autistic females are said to "mask" their symptoms better by mimicking their peers, and this claim appears to have some basis in reality, because females in general are more socially conformist and therefore more proficient in social mimicry/pantomime, whereas males in general are more independent-minded and therefore more socially awkward/estranged (whether autistic or not).

Yet, at the same time, narcissism is said to be more of a male psychopathology than a female psychopathology, and there is no interest in the idea that this might be a flawed perception, despite evidence to the contrary.

What makes this doubly ironic is the fact that the exact psychodynamic mechanism which enables females to mimic their peers better than males appears to be precisely a finer tuned sense of narcissism, which motivates one to copy the mannerisms of one's peers out of a desire to be accepted among one's peers (this is said to be the "prosocial" component of narcissism, explaining things such as virtue signalling, and it ultimately leads to a competition of attempting to outdo others in your professions and expressions of social conformity).

Women being good at virtue signaling and mimicking other people's behaviors compared to men isn't true empathy or evidence of women being more open minded and tolerant to new experiences and I refuse to believe otherwise.

Females have higher rates of neuroticism than males, and so they wouldn't be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder as often as males because they don't appear to be as grandiose.

But the concept of narcissism far outstrips the DSM's definition, and I think it's fair to say that what's known as "covert narcissism" is a largely female psychopathology, much like borderline personality disorder which it closely resembles (BPD literally meaning "highly neurotic to the point of psychosis," which is the very mental state in which narcissism develops).

Females are sociopathic and sadistic when it comes to males they find unattractive tbh

Narcissism in males is overblown tbh
jfl incels get called failed narcissists and covert narcissists for complaining about getting bullied by make believe psychologists on the internet that take it upon themselves to diagnose them.

These psychologists would say that covert and even overt expressions of narcissism are "healthy" when a female does it, along with all the malignant virtue signalling and outright abuse of others that comes with it :feelskek:

I'm reminded of how in my senior year of high school, females said verbatim what was expected of them regarding the BLM martyr Mike Brown, and spoke of him like a poor little baby (in reality, he was a seven foot tall, 300 pound Tyrone who physically assaulted a curry gas station clerk and then a police officer and got shot to death for this reason alone; but that didn't stop the Ferguson Riots or widespread apologism for the psychopathic criminals in BLM).

It is seen that females virtue signaled like crazy for BLM this year as well, and, just like with Mike Brown and the Ferguson Riots, what this entailed is their support of psychopathic criminals who make a martyr out of a fallen gangster and use it to proselytize an iconoclastic religion of destruction, with the full support of the cultural establishment that they conform to and reflect the priorities of like a mirror.

Perhaps this can be construed as the psychopathic ego ideal of female covert narcissists tbhngl.

Females virtue signal to cover up their true motives just like some psychopathic males do.

These psychologists aren't interested in anything but trying to shame males while making it seem professional.
 
Yup. "Women can be autistic too they're just better at masking it :^)" So wouldn't they be good at masking being a narcissistic sociopath? :feelshehe:

It should be noted that the term "masking" was first used to describe the deceptions that psychopaths put on, as derived from the book The Mask of Sanity by Hervey M. Cleckley.

They are modern day priests, and insofar as feminism is a church doctrine, they will preach it.

Another factor, which is not entirely irrelevant to the priesthood, is the fact that females are more likely to be interested in psychology and fuel the decisions that occur in this field (shall one say: put money in the collection basket?).

They and the profession of psychology as a whole has an anti male bias. You can clearly see this in the examples of "marriage counseling" where the therapists first press the man about what he did wrong for his wife to become unfaithful to him and cheat. As if it is his fault.

Psychologists have overlap with the gynocentric mentality that men deserve everything what happens to them from women that TRP fucktards espouse.

These days the redpill is just feminism but with tryhard tradcuck "alpha" messaging.
 
Arent like over 80% of autistics males?

I didn't know that but it makes perfect sense

As far as autism diagnoses go, yes. But the argument is that there are many autistic females who are left undiagnosed because they present differently (that is, they are less socially awkward than autistic males).

However, this same logic can be used with respect to narcissism: that while males are more likely to be diagnosed with NPD than females, this fails to account for undiagnosed female narcissists who present differently (that is, they are more neurotic and socially conformist rather than more grandiose and socially non-conformist).

But this brings up another bias in psychology: that personality disorders must feature alloplastic defenses, in which you externalize blame onto others rather than internalize blame onto yourself (the latter being typical of neurotics!). Of course the type of narcissist to be considered "disordered" would likely be a male by these standards! But I would argue that having an internal fixation or locus of control is not the exception but rather the rule when it comes to narcissism, in which this exact state reaches absurd levels ("I can do anything so long as I set my mind on it," etc.).

Redpillers are neurotic af and likely to be covert narcissists just waiting to bloom, which perhaps explains why these qualities are attributed to us. We are mistakenly identified with them.

Or deliberately conflated with them just like incels are conflated with being part of the alt-right of angry white men.

Yeah women fit in more easily while men are more independent thinking also many character personality flaws are easer overlooked for females than males.

This exactly. Keep in mind that most modern psychologists would deny that dating is significantly harder for men than it is for women, even though anyone with an ounce of common sense can see that this is the case.

Psychology is a soft science and most psychologists are female. Psychologists are trained to look down on and pathologize anyone who isn't perfectly well-adjusted to life in a feminist society. Male psychologists tend to be extroverted, hardcore social conformists and cowards with zero interest in doing anything that might offend prevailing social norms. They're too concerned with not offending their female colleagues sensibilities to do anything useful.

Yet, at the same time, narcissism is said to be more of a male psychopathology than a female psychopathology, and there is no interest in the idea that this might be a flawed perception, despite evidence to the contrary.

The term "Narcissism" was popularized in Psychology by Sigmund Freud, who correctly identified it as a predominantly female trait. He understood that children's biological imperative is to extract resources from adults (mainly their parents) and that their natural narcissism helps them accomplish this. Parents usually enjoy satisfying their children's narcissistic desires for gifts and treats and seeing them satisfied afterwards. In a way, children's narcissism contributes to their charm in their parents eyes.

Similarly, women's biological imperative is to extract resources from men, and their natural narcissism helps them to do this. Men who are able to consistently satisfy women's narcissistic desires for attention, resources, and entertainment, take a certain enjoyment and pride in this.

The Wikipedia article on Narcissism quotes Freud, but does not make any mention of his view that whereas boys tend to become less narcissistic when they mature, girls tend to become more narcissistic.

A comparison of the male and female sexes then shows that there are fundamental differences between them in respect of their type of objectchoice, although these differences are of course not universal. Complete object-love of the attachment type is, properly speaking, characteristic of the male. It displays the marked sexual overvaluation which is doubtless derived from the child's original narcissism and thus corresponds to a transference of that narcissism to the sexual object. This sexual overvaluation is the origin of the peculiar state of being in love, a state suggestive of a neurotic compulsion, which is thus traceable to an impoverishment of the ego as regards libido in favour of the love-object

A different course is followed in the type of female most frequently met with, which is probably the purest and truest one. With the onset of puberty the maturing of the female sexual organs, which up till then have been in a condition of latency, seems to bring about an intensification of the original narcissism, and this is unfavourable to the development of a true objectchoice with its accompanying sexual overvaluation.

Women, especially if they grow up with good looks, develop a certain selfcontentment which compensates them for the social restrictions that are imposed upon them in their choice of object. Strictly speaking, it is only themselves that such women love with an intensity comparable to that of the man's love for them. Nor does their need lie in the direction of loving, but of being loved; and the man who fulfills this condition is the one who finds favour with them.

The importance of this type of woman for the erotic life of mankind is to be rated very high. Such women have the greatest fascination for men, not only for aesthetic reasons, since as a rule they are the most beautiful, but also because of a combination of interesting psychological factors. For it seems very evident that another person's narcissism has a great attraction for those who have renounced part of their own narcissism and are in search of object-love. The charm of a child lies to a great extent in his narcissism, his self-contentment and inaccessibility, just as does the charm of certain animals which seem not to concern themselves about us, such as cats and the large beasts of prey. Indeed, even great criminals and humorists, as they are represented in literature, compel our interest by the narcissistic consistency with which they manage to keep away from their ego anything that would diminish it. It is as if we envied them for maintaining a blissful state of mind—an unassailable libidinal position which we ourselves have since abandoned.

I don't think that is true so much now if those psychologists want their clients to keep seeing them now that some of these ideas that women have it easier that men are becoming mainstream and accepted. But they are still generally pretty dismissive and focus on the magical thinking oriented "you create your own reality", only you can control how you feel, you can't control how others act shtick. Basically meaningless platitudes.

I think psychology is a useful field but like many other fields in the social sciences it has been taken over by people with an anti male agenda that like to fear monger about feelings of anger, sexual frustration and loss of hope in males from underachieving according to society's expectations in order to make a name for themselves and use these studies, interviews, unannounced behavioral trials, data mining and so on as evidence to help pass legislation that curtails the rights of such males.

two points
it is a widely contested theme within psychology that autism and narcissism are very difficult to distinguish between
so much so that narcissistic personality disorder was removed from the psychological guidelines eg basically the bible of psychology in the mid 2010's

So you can say the whole field of psychology has been politicised and is run by a feminist agenda, where they know this is the one root issue which completely buries them, and reveals the whole LARP piece by piece and destroys their whole position by breaking it down to a negative psychological trait that can be identified and so squashed to a degree. AGAIN FEMINISM 101 AWALT they only care about winning not the issue or the truth

I was not aware that they actually believe that the distribution of narcissism is found mainly in men in their eyes, this is literally insane, womens whole existence is predicated on social manipulation, of one peers, and of their public image, and these people are less likely to be narcissistic than men, this is a whole new level of dumbass by psychologists.
 
No one cares about autistic men hence why we are prime recruitment material for extreme groups and the incel community.

Remember those political extremist groups don't carry about you, look down on you and want to use you.
Don't trust anyone here 100% either but at least here you can relate to other non-NT males when society has been trying to stop unfiltered discussions like this from taking place.

I hear you.
 
I've seen guys online call out "autistic" women for suffering none of the consequences of autism, so there's that at least.
Nearly all of the female autists online seem to have perfectly outfitted lives with romance and stability, they just do some stimming arm flapping here and there, and no one even calls that out since they don't want to be mean to a female.
Meanwhile you could be perfectly sane and completely alone.

This is an excellent synopsis, and goes some way towards explaining why Freud has such a negative reputation today.

The most absurd manifestation of this actually comes from the alt-right, which has recently engaged in a sociological critique of narcissism while citing a Freudian tract, The Culture of Narcissism by Christopher Lasch.

Nevertheless, they denounced Freud as "chaotic" and praised Jung as a force of "order," which is absurd on multiple levels :feelskek:


They did this because Freud is Jewish and Jung is Germanic, of course, but what they don't know is that Jung suffered from psychosis after he split with Freud and, not unrelatedly, narcissism. So he naturally engaged in long monologues with himself, going so far as to write them down, and these included revisions on Freud's understanding of narcissism. This is hardly ordered or anti-narcissistic, of course; just the opposite.

Also, a fun fact is that Jung was once given Adolf Hitler's handwriting to examine, and noted that it was a typically feminine hand, which is relevant to Adolf Hitler's own clearly existing narcissism, a residual "complex" (as it were) from his childhood.

autism and narcissism are very difficult to distinguish between

Hence one can say with justification that Adolf Hitler was not just narcissistic but autistic, or at least had autistic traits.

If narcissism is to be associated with neoteny or childlike features, then it bears mention in this connection that autistic males are often neotenous.

I think it's also because to fit in society foids have to do absolutely nothing, so even if they have autism nobody would care

Perhaps this can be construed as the psychopathic ego ideal of female covert narcissists tbhngl.

EVERYONE who is NT seeks to use you, at least from my experience as someone with ASD. I have seen these pieces of NT shit use non-NT people as a form entertainment and as pawns to do stupid shit with.

to be honest The Culture of Narcissism by Christopher Lasch is a good read although flawed explains a lot about our society have you read Jean Baudrillard , simulacra simulation very good

Even good looking autistic guys can seek to use you. Everyone does in some way tbh
Always beware of ulterior motives other people have.
People don't just care about your problems out of the goodness of their heart. They need an incentive and benefit for them to care.

Exactly, They only care about themselves.
Then these pieces of dross would go and lie straight to my fucking face saying "Ohh I care." like I am fucking stupid! Dumb normalniggers really do not give a fucking shit and need to die.
Virtue signalling shitbags deserve all the pain they will get.
 
Hi eye Q

@GoffSystemQB pin
 
Women handle autism better as they don't have a bucket list of expectations put upon them to behave according to typical gender roles of being assertive, an aggressive go getter that is comfortable all the time, they have white Knight NT simps jumping in to save them all the time.

They can just sit back & be quiet or passive with minimal shit from other ppl compared to men's treatment from others if being of that nature.

Men are more logical & women are more emotional, too far one ends lands you with autism or schizophrenia.

They don't care and their actions don't show it. I don't care about their lip service. The minute you say something socially unacceptable when ranting about your life (hell ranting about society as an average to below average male is socially unacceptable) you are told to shut up and that no one needs to hear it.
I'm really glad the term virtue signaling has come about because it really describes the behavior of these normies that pretend to care when their actions show that they don't.
 
Foids have friends. Futurecels have legos.
 
Autism is primarily a Male disease. In general, autistic traits in women are actually attractive. Social awkwardness is quirky, their niche hobbies are celebrated as a part of her individuality, and whatever motor skills issue she may have are seen as clumsiness, not genetic defects. She also doesn't need to get a driver's license or work. An autistic girl might read this on IT and start seething about how she totally embarrassed herself in front of Chad, and how her issues weren't taken lightly -- this is because said female is either a landwhale or completely indifferent to the high tier normies and Chadlites who thought it was a good sign you're not a generic, Stacy cunt. But AWALT, even if they're autistic.

It's from Freud's 1914 essay entitled "On Narcissism:". While far from perfect, his inductivist approach to understanding human psychology makes a lot more sense than what "evidence-based" modern psychologists are doing. And he deserves credit for not being afraid to say things that offended women.

I was not aware that they actually believe that the distribution of narcissism is found mainly in men in their eyes, this is literally insane, womens whole existence is predicated on social manipulation, of one peers, and of their public image, and these people are less likely to be narcissistic than men, this is a whole new level of dumbass by psychologists.

Self-report studies like this one that rely on asking people to complete ambiguous questionaires should be taken with a grain of salt. It's not at all clear if they were even measuring narcissism rather than just people's often skewed perceptions of themselves. Women often have fake modesty and take care to appear as virtuous and flawless as possible, and lack the self-awareness to observe their behavior in an objective manner. As Esther Vilar observed, most women don't even realize that they're using men as a utility to satisfy their narcissistic desires. They're not going to be anywhere near as honest as men when filling in surveys.

If self-report itself is a flawed way of gaining knowledge about human behavior and sex differences, it doesn't matter how much knowledge about statistical science the authors of such studies have. The replication crisis in psychology and the fact that more than 60% of studies cannot be replicated is only a symptom of this problem.

The only type of social science studies worth taking seriously are studies that observe people's behavior when they're not realizing they're being observed. The OkCupid study, which had the entire userbase of OkCupid as a sample size, is a good example of this, and it came to a conlusion that portrayed women in a less than flattering light, unlike the dozens of worthless self-report studies on the topic of online dating.

I think a lot of people here give modern psychology more respect than it deserves.
