Paraphrased:

The narcissist’s smirk is a subtle but telling expression that occurs when a narcissist experiences pleasure from manipulating or deceiving someone.

They view others who do not serve their needs as worthless or beneath them, showing a complete disregard for how their actions impact those around them.

      That’s a more realistic analogy, but my point here isn’t that autism is not a multidimensional and continuously distributed trait. My point is only that a spectrum and dichotomized group membership are technically conceivable, even if substantively absurd.
