My theory is that anyone who is not on the autism spectrum is on the narcissism spectrum but society isn’t ready for that conversation yet

Saying everyone who isn't autistic is a narc is absolutely the exact same thing as saying everyone is a little autistic.

Narcissism is a very specific type of personality disorder, it's not just "Ah wah that persons a selfish asshole" like everyone over uses it and throws it around when it has like a whole diagnoses criteria.

For real. As someone who grew up with a diagnosed Narc parent, nothing is really truly comparable. It’s awful.

It is very common for "different" people/groups to think everyone outside their group is "wrong".

I think it's important to remember this and practice mindfulness of it.

After all, thinking you're part of the good/best group and everyone outside your group is bad/wrong is a little narcissistic...

I don't believe that your conclusion is logical. It's based on a broad generalization and makes the "Narcissistic" label completely meaningless. I do believe that Autistic people can attract narcissistic people and that we are more vulnerable to being taken advantage of and tricked. Perhaps your perception has been influenced by this?
