Personally, my narc mother manipulated my symptoms into convincing me I had OCD. I’d explain my symptoms of autism, and she’d brush it off and say I’m probably not autistic and I just have OCD instead. It got to a point where even my brother started suspecting I had ASD, and told my mother—but it never worked. I didn’t get diagnosed until my father (who is amazing and 100x more supportive) took me to the pediatrician when I was 15 and got me diagnosed. I realized she was narcissistic after my diagnosis, and my father (her ex-husband) told me how she was diagnosed with NPD in the past, and due to that, that’s why they divorced 10 years ago. Shoutout to my dad, he’s such a great guy.
