  All right, let's get into it. Welcome back to the Aspen world
• 0:40
  guys. My name is Dan.
• 0:41
  For anybody who doesn't know who I am.
• 0:43
  This is the place where we think differently daily.
• 0:45
  What is at my different thinkers.
• 0:46
  Wow. I feel like this camera is a bit
• 0:47
  weird. Like I'm in a Batman movie and
• 0:48
  it's kind of on the side. Sorry if this video is on a bit
• 0:51
  of an angle. Well, it's weird, isn't it?
• 0:53
  I feel like it is actually. I'm going to do.
• 0:54
  I'm going to no isn't. I'm just going mad.
• 0:57
  I'm absolutely going crazy. Anyway guys, good to happy here.
• 1:00
  I want to do this video today because I feel like there's
• 1:03
  there's a lot of, there's a lot of like, I don't want to call it
• 1:07
  like similarities between when people say that like they're
• 1:11
  artistic and then some people say, no, no, it's it's it's
• 1:14
  narcissism. But Asperger syndrome, which was
• 1:17
  used to be called Asperger syndrome.
• 1:19
  So the diagnosis that used to be called Asperger's syndrome,
• 1:21
  which is not basically just autism spectrum disorder, which
• 1:24
  refers to people with lower support needs.
• 1:25
  It used to be the high functioning type of autism.
• 1:28
  That's a terrible name in convention and we don't use
• 1:30
  those anymore. So this is, are you autistic or
• 1:33
  are you narcissistic? And there's a very, very clean
• 1:35
  cut line to figure out which side you're on.
• 1:38
  And if you're kind of like, I don't know, you trait align with
• 1:42
  one another. So we're going to go through it.
• 1:44
  We're going to talk about autism 1st and going to talk about
• 1:45
  narcissism. So we're going to talk about
• 1:47
  like how you know what autism is and what narcissism is.
• 1:50
  And by doing this, you'll be able to see how different they
• 1:53
  both are. OK.
• 1:54
  So looking at autism, right. I've written some notes.
• 1:57
  If you see me looking off screen, This is why.
• 1:58
  So autism is a developmental neurological condition that
• 2:02
  impacts you from birth and a lifelong condition.
• 2:04
  It's kind of like a incurable, lifelong condition, you know,
• 2:10
  and considers neurological. It's with you from Dave dot and
• 2:13
  it can be understood as you know, looking at people through
• 2:15
  personality, behavioural traits as well as communication issues.
• 2:20
  Now, autistic people don't know that they are saying wrong words
• 2:25
  or wrong things from time to time, so they don't have
• 2:27
  filters, they don't know what's appropriate social conventions,
• 2:31
  because socialising is down to a communication part of the brain
• 2:34
  and the communication part of the brain is heavily impacted
• 2:36
  when you have an autism spectrum disorder, right?
• 2:39
  So autism people have issues with communicating and
• 2:42
  understanding emotions. So communicating their emotions
• 2:46
  outwards to somebody or relaying how they feel or what their
• 2:49
  emotions are to somebody is very difficult for people on the
• 2:51
  autism spectrum. As for understanding other
• 2:54
  people's emotions is actually difficult for people on the
• 2:56
  spectrum. Kind of like trying to tell
• 2:59
  someone how they feel because it's a communication issue at
• 3:02
  the end of the day. And again, like I said, autistic
• 3:04
  people just try and be as honest as they can, You know, they're
• 3:07
  they're honest people. They they they it's not like we
• 3:11
  we try to lie to get out of anything is it doesn't do like
• 3:14
  that. You know, we're honest and
• 3:15
  decent kind of thinking. And so that's a very interesting
• 3:18
  key point here we're going to talk about.
• 3:20
  But during socializing an autistic person will struggle to
• 3:23
  follow the flow of the socializing in the conversation
• 3:26
  and present issues with understanding the social
• 3:28
  conventions or the hidden social rules of, you know, distance and
• 3:31
  and when each other turn to talk and hand movement and kind of
• 3:35
  like whose turn is it to talk? How long do I talk for?
• 3:38
  What? What volume do I talk at?
• 3:39
  How you know, do I, do I just appear or do I just disappear?
• 3:43
  Like how you know all of those things, those those unwritten
• 3:46
  social rules which are kind of like hidden skills that people
• 3:49
  just pick up from socializing. These are all missed with
• 3:51
  autism. Very interesting.
• 3:52
  Now if you flip this and look at narcissism.
• 3:55
  So a narcissistic condition is a mental health condition that is
• 4:00
  characterized by persons ability to display a negative behavior
• 4:03
  in their social approach. So whereas autism is a
• 4:07
  neurological approach, narcissism is more of a mental
• 4:09
  health condition. You know, in social situations,
• 4:12
  A narcissist will be manipulative and use
• 4:15
  manipulation techniques to gain power within that social
• 4:18
  construct. So they will manipulate the
• 4:20
  conversation to make them gain the upper hand in a conversation
• 4:23
  or gain power in that conversation.
• 4:25
  Quite an interesting thing to think about, but but it's
• 4:29
  definitely something that that narcissistic personality traits
• 4:31
  do have. A narcissist will have
• 4:35
  multidimensional personalities and switch between different
• 4:38
  ones with different people to gain control over them.
• 4:42
  So whereas an autistic person just have one personality, they
• 4:44
  are who they are, but a narcissist will switch to play
• 4:47
  the game so that they can gain leverage in every situation
• 4:51
  they're in. Talking with somebody on the on
• 4:52
  the spectrum now, talking with somebody in a social situation.
• 4:56
  Now in terms of narcissism versus autism, you can clearly
• 5:00
  see there's a huge difference because narcissists are actively
• 5:03
  aware of the negativity that they are implementing into
• 5:08
  people that they are exploiting through social conventions.
• 5:11
  Autism and autistic people, when they are in social situations,
• 5:14
  they are unaware of the fact that they are negatively
• 5:17
  impacting those people and they're not doing it to gain
• 5:19
  leverage. Whereas narcissists, on the
• 5:21
  other hand, will know what they're doing to gain leverage.
• 5:23
  So when you're confronted with someone on the autism spectrum,
• 5:26
  it's very clear because they're not trying to do anything on
• 5:28
  purpose. It's kind of like they may say
• 5:30
  something wrong by accident. It's not not their intention,
• 5:33
  they have no hidden agenda. But people with narcissism will
• 5:36
  be of the ilk to want to to manipulate you, and they want to
• 5:40
  do it because they know it's wrong and they want to do it
• 5:43
  because they want to gain power. It's a.
• 5:44
  It's a more of an egotistical thing rather than just a
• 5:46
  mistake. So there are differences, the
• 5:48
  clear differences between Aspergers and narcissism, and
• 5:50
  I'd love to know your take on this.
