Dr Diamond’s intelligence is so soothing to listen to, comforting and stimulating to me. I listened to her debriefing session on a dbt patient named Charlotte on CZcams recently. I just really appreciated her natural intelligence while she was speaking about Charlotte.
That blew me out of the water. Particularly Dr. Diamonds comments about the possible connection between Asperger's syndrome and NPD. She has done superb work in the area of NPD and BPD treatment.
I read your comment before watching the video and was very disappointed because she didn't talk about that at all. Mentioned it extremely briefly, but didn't say anything.
We have Narcissistic on both sides of our family as well as 4 individuals with Asperger’s on one side of the family. I have a son with ADHD and high functioning autism who is 18. There are so many times his behavior is outright narcissistic and seems so similar to the narcs I grew up with.
i guess im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a method to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me
Absolutely. My ex is professionally diagnosed autistic, but the only way to make sense of his personality was to study Narcissism. Everything I learned about Autism told me that they're not malicious, they have plenty of empathy, they're not grandiose, etc. But it just didn't add up with the person I dated. His Autistic black-and-white thinking is SO strong, he's convinced that he's God's gift to the world and that everyone who disagrees with him in any way is wrong and is against him. People at every workplace he's ever worked at have "ganged up on him" and he's been fired from several jobs in tech because he just rubs EVERYONE the wrong way, very abrasive, and is very arrogant and condescending. My brother is also autistic, and he's the POLAR opposite of the man I dated. My brother is kind, compassionate, very socially unaware but tries very hard to fit in and be "normal", and is NOT arrogant or condescending AT ALL. Autistic people who have very high levels of the black-and-white thinking symptom seem to have no choice but to be Narcissists because they have no other way of processing the world besides oversimplifying it to hell. No nuance or shades of grey. Other people's perspectives are a threat to him and he needs to change everyone's views, opinions, and perspectives to match his, like they are all extensions of him who are not allowed to have any agency of their own unless it serves him.
@Retrosenescent I can add to your observations. I have been professionally diagnosed with adhd and autism level one, aka asbergers. I have achieved very little in my life because of massive social impairments and an inability to belong to a group, and care about myself enough day to day. I have always wanted friends and to belong. I have strong empathy but also am highly sensitive to sleep, food, environment, social interactions. The odd thing is that I have tested in the 99th percentile in English at my schools entrance exam. I had a perfect score on my asvab when trying to enter the army, (I was going nowhere in life). All potential no results. My father is exactly as you described. Black and white. His way or wrong. Everyone else is less, or to be used for his advantage. Zero ability to work as a team, no ability to see another perspective. When cornered with facts and data (hard evidence) will rage, blame, accuse the other of conspiracy or idiocy. I had black and white thinking but ten years of effort to understand humanity after being told that I am to blame for every issue in my family (was told this, and felt it, even though I know it wasn't really true) I am able to see some grey areas. I fully believe that npd is to protect the mind of many people with autism like my father. He must be right. He must be in charge. Also, things are more important than people. Feelings don't matter.

I find this actually quite sad. While it is gratifying to observe and theorize people, this lady does not seem overly compassionate towards the patient she is describing, I am not surprised she has limited success in getting through to the people she works with. People with these disorders are suffering quite a lot, & she finds it quite amusing. There are so, so few good therapists out there.
She's one of the few voices advocating that we can meaningfully get better. Compared to Wendy Behary on the Schema side of the aisle, Diamond seems quite rational, down to earth, and patient. The latter seems more able to distinguish the human being from their disorder(s), as opposed to regarding us as bEaStS to be wrangled with and primarily coercively managed (thank God Behary has chosen to primarily write profitable back-patting books for 'victims' as opposed to going into, like, actual forensic psychotherapy). I've heard these [TFP] anecdotes and read this particular paper before though, so perhaps I'm slightly numb to the commentary, and more genuinely curious as to whether or not I can relate to the patient perspectives than immediately taken aback. I'm somewhat amused / bashful to the degree that I do; e.g. would I be worried about the therapist getting "too much credit", I wonder? This possibility perplexes me. The Hedge Fund Guy definitely reminded me of my mom, heh. Or maybe me: Respect Is Earned, You're Not Entitled to It! Even though the "raise if I fall in love" was a pretty ridiculous proposition. TFP •does• advocate for a somewhat more authoritative (authoritarian, depending on my mood) stance than, say, [MBT] in general though; how compassionate do you think Jessica Yakeley comes off as, when juxtaposed with Diamond? I'm not sure this is so easily measured, especially from a distance.
She has an ability to make sometimes dense and abstruse psychodynamic concepts to be very understandable. I very much enjoy her work.

She felt very compassionate to me.
Exuberating. Watched it several times.
I loved this lecture. Thank you
Brilliant.
Fantastic!
This is fascinating
Boy. How does one learn to talk this fast? I will have to listen to this again and probably again after that.
This was extremely interesting. Thank you!

@Derrick Kayson Instablaster :)
Thank you for posting this informative video.
There seems hope for the future
Expensive cures. This woman is good at her work, she's also a scholar, which means not all therapists could do what she does.
Where is the video(recording) of a patient in ~40th minute of video?
its easier to follow what she says if you turn on captions in my experience, as a suggestion
Anyone come from Duncanyounot?
I think there is an overlap in ASD / NPD
Studies certainly required! This overlap is the only way I can make sense of my Father's personality, for instance.

My brother has this co both so destructive psychopathic criminal con artist.
Great content and very unpleasant way of lecturing. Less, in calm way, would be more fruitful.
I wish she would not speak so fast.
You can slowdown the playback speed----click on 3 dots top right of frame
You say this as I’m listening now at 2x speed
@ Mark, thanks for the speed advice. Very helpful

This guy seems good to me.
Quite the shit take you got there. You seem to be projecting heavily.
Narcissist talks about herself too much.
