That is fascinating. Thank you for the response. Interestingly, your description of autism and implicit learning does not resonate with me, at all. In fact, I strangely feel like I have a subconscious side of my brain that is far smarter than the conscious side of my brain, if that makes sense. And as a result, I have a very strong intuition about what other people are thinking, for example.
If anything from your description, I felt more resonance with your description of NPD, but that’s probably only because I’m relatively narcissistic in the normal sense. I don’t think there is likely to be any disorder from that or any trauma that could cause it. Maybe it’s because I can flip a switch where I become much more manipulative. Or maybe I’m just empathizing with you. I did have an ex who broke up with me after she purposely wound me up and then said that she thought I was going to hurt her. So maybe that’s it.
I have basically zero academic understanding of psychology, so I can’t really participate in this analysis. But I appreciate you have spoken about it in a way that I could understand, and I’m pleased that you’ve decided to use your experience to help people. I wish you the best of luck.
