I do know that the more I hurt the more likely I am to respond stoically.
I am basically inverse to the situation. But I do think I’m good in emergencies![]()
I'm not good in emergencies unless I am medicated (which I am) but it is something I've noticed about my son who is also HFA/ASD1/whatever we are calling it these days He tends to leap into action.
I don’t touch strangers in general
God, I wish someone would have told my strangers that.
In fact, I wosh so eone had told me that sooner, so my strangers could not have gaslighted me about it.
As i stated countless times in here This NPD diagnosis is HIGHLY individual.QUOTE]
I'm probably just tired but I am confused about how NPD got into this. Is it part of your diagnosis? I guess my username should be be Confused and Clueless in Canada.
I once talked down a gunman while two other people were frozen in fear. My mind goes into Vulcan Mode, you might say..

I interrupt too. I know I am getting the timing wrong as I am doing it but it's sort of like watching myself do and not being able to stop. I have not walked in between two talking people that I know of but I do misjudge the relationship between my own body and the people, objects and spaces around me. I blurt too but usually not too far off topic. Maybe your mind is just racing and putting together connections and you are taking bigger leaps than others do.
What l am trying to say is, are there certain types of situations or people that you notice you seem to lose control or not respond in a appro manner?
