Survivor of abuse by a female narcissist. I lost years of my life to abuse, control and manipulation. Identify the narc and protect yourself. The narc is around you.
I wish you health and happiness.

My narcissist abuser is known to have targeted three autistic victims. It turns out that there is evidence and expert opinion that narcissists and other manipulative personalities may be more likely to target autistic people.
Autistic individuals can be especially vulnerable because they may have difficulties with asserting boundaries, high trust in others, and sometimes trouble recognizing manipulation or deceitful social cues.

The victims may or may not be autistic persons with a diagnosis. They may or may not *know* they are autistic because many neurodivergent adults remain undiagnosed. The narcissist may or may not know whether the target is diagnosed as autistic. What the narc does is scan for autistic traits like the ones I mentioned in my post above.

Taking others at face value leads autistic individuals to trust manipulative or dishonest people, making them easier targets for emotional manipulation.
Autistic people may have difficulty saying no, be people pleasers, and struggle to set boundaries—traits narcissists exploit.

The Narcissist's Prayer by Dayna Craig
How narcissists deny, deflect, attack, blame-shift, gaslight, DARVO. This poem lays it out concisely and pointedly.

"Pushing back against narcissism is a human rights issue."
It is not only about the personal suffering of individuals.

@GregArcus I am not from the US but I can certainly see what you mean.

#Narcissists will reject anything that contradicts their personal narrative. When they concoct lies as a response to your statement of the truth, you may get surprised and reply, "Wait, that never happened!" and they will enjoy your distress, shock and puzzlement. They will do this repeatedly.
Never try to argue or reason with a narcissist when that person tells blatant lies or tries to use the #DARVO tactic.

#Narcissists routinely distort, deny and redefine the truth and believe in these distortions deeply. Admitting to objective truth would require them to confront vulnerability or shame, something narcs generally avoid.
When they are not consciously lying, they construct and believe in an alternate reality tailored for self-protection. This is also why they tend to make, believe in and spread conspiracy theories.

Thread about Narcissists and truth:
When her wrongdoing was shown to her, my abuser used to flatly deny the truth, state her version of the "truth", which portrayed herself as the victim and me as the wrongdoer. This is a tactic known as DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender).
Never try to reason with a #narcissist or expect them to be accountable. For narcs, the truth is required to serve their own needs at any given moment. They lie to others and themselves.
My narcissistic abuser has at least a dozen flying monkeys, one of whom I met about 2 months ago. He clearly wanted me ostracized because he had subscribed to my abuser's lies and accusations. I am still trying to figure out how to handle #FlyingMonkeys.

The most potent weapon you have against a #narcissist is #selfRegulation.
Narcissists use #emotions to manipulate you. And a lifetime of doing this made them incredibly adept at this. They will analyse you and figure out which emotional strings they need to pull to play you like an instrument. You'll increasingly loose yourself in increasingly desperate attempts to get on their good side. To get back that person they were in the beginning. Neurologically speaking it's literally an addiction (look up #traumaBond if you don't believe me).
Good self-regulation practices will allow you to become immune to their manipulation. For this you need to become centered in yourself. Which means: you need to face your own #trauma.
However if you manage to do that, then you'll become stronger than you could have ever imagined. Your narc gives you nightmares and makes you feel powerless? You'll begin to see them as a toddler throwing a fit (which is surprisingly accurate, psychologically speaking).
Narcissist.
Five main signs of narcissism are a huge sense of self-importance, constant need for admiration, lack of empathy, sense of entitlement, and manipulative or exploitive behaviour.

Useful advice for our times: How to Make a Narcissist Miserable: 12 Things They Hate
Eg: "they hate when someone challenges them with facts instead of emotion. They will usually retaliate with more arguing or hysteria. This childish response simply shows that they feel out-of-control. They attempt to elevate the conversation’s intensity by throwing an emotional temper tantrum.”
