...until it is someone with narcissistic personality disorder, psychopathy and sociopathy, but mostly NPD.

EDIT: There seems to be some misunderstandings about this post. It is not an attack on this community or the users here, it's just a general vent I have for the type of people that claim to be anti-ableist until it is something they don't like.

This is the most NPD post ever trying to make this comparison. People with disabilities or mental disorders that hurt people when unmanaged SHOULD be treated differently. No it's not the same thing as ensuring blind or people in wheel chairs can get around without assistance or making sure people with autism get job opportunities.

NPD doesn't cause abusive behaviour. That's a made up stereotype.

Also why are you saying this post is bad because "it's the most NPD post ever"? Do you think people with NPD are bad?

Please see my other comment where I gave you a bunch of references to how pwNPD are definitely abusive.
