== Being autosexual vs narcissism == |

Narcissism & autosexuality are not the same thing and never were. The former is a disorder and not inherently linked to sexuality; the latter is a sexual orientation label that can be used by anyone of any neurotype. While some with NPD may prioritize their own sexual pleasure, this is not even close to autosexuality or the majority of those with NPD. |

Many people confuse narcissism with autosexuality, however, the differences, as Dr. McGowan explains; "Autosexuals are more comfortable sexually when in their own company, while ''narcissists'' crave attention. Autosexuality is also not likely to be associated with a lack of empathy or desire to give others pleasure – sexually or otherwise – but rather a preference towards a private and personal sexual experience." |

In summary, while narcissism is a self obsession that causes harm to others and oneself, autosexuality is harmless in the sense that one does not put oneself above others, and it is not a mental abnormality. |
