Twitter Thread Alert! 🧵It's time for a mini-review of the literature on the use of #ketogenic diets and #Autism. Now some of you identify as neurodivergent and are not interested in modifying these differences. #neurotwitter 1/29
You may also not want to participate in a discussion that sees these differences as pathology. If that is the case, this is not the thread for you. I am not interested in hosting that philosophical discussion in this thread. 2/29 #boundaries

Hmmm. #Boundaries #BoundaryWork

Yeah, I can do something about my own boundaries.
Preliminary boundary: If you are secret-disabled? I will move my bodymind away from you. I do not consent to be in close relation to secret-disabled ppl.

Cult recruitment: In order for ‘cults’ to be successful they rely on ‘recruiting’ others. They target ‘vulnerable’ isolated, alone, neglected children or adults. For vulnerable people, #cults are very tempting because the cult provides love-Bombing #stage1
A sense of safety, promises of rewards friends & actual rewards. Who could possibly refuse? They typically use becoming more joyful, happy, obtaining bliss as a #promise Who wouldn’t want that? A new family? #Acceptance? Love? It’s a nice loving supportive environment initially
🔥 How to have a better life: KNOW the 6 DARK red flags 🚩 of toxic people & stay away from them: 🔥1. Constant Drama 🎭 those that create, spread or are complicit in gossip, lies, manipulation, deception & gaslighting. Many people are unconsciously addicted to drama due to toxic
Childhood/parents, TV, SM, MSM, government. Be honest with yourself and ask “why am I doing or allowing this?” 🔥2. NARCISSISM: The levels of narcissism have reached epidemic proportions in society. Many people think this is ‘normal’. It’s not. It’s unhealthy & dysfunctional
Notice how the conversation goes back to them. Notice how the subject topic is switched back to them. Notice how it’s all about them. Notice how discussions & conversations go back to them. Notice how they ‘fish’ for compliments. Notice how they hate/envious of others success
Therapist 🧵: #Narcissistic Fixated Stalking. #Stalking is illegal in almost every country in the world, but that doesn't mean those who are stalked get the help they need. Stalking is on the Increase due to social media, lack of knowledge by law enforcement as to what #illegal
To do with them, their high levels of manipulation & the law not keeping up with current times. Clusters B's are well known for stalking & taking revenge when they don't get what they want from you. Narcissists & psychopaths are even known to kill your pets.
They may contact your employee With outright lies, stalk you both online & offline & accuse you of stalking them. Stalking is something narcissists (and other cluster B's) love to engage in. It gives them power, control & yes, entertainment #dysfunctional
Therapist Thread on #Narcissistic Injury & Narcissistic Rage 🧵: the reactions are disproportionate the the perceived 'slight', which is the injury. They are 'over the top'. For e.g. they want you to lose your entire career because you disagree with them on something.
Narcissistic injury is caused by: 1.challenged confidence. When there excessive needs for admiration your attention, time, energy are not met, they will #rage to protect their ego. 2. Injury to the narcissists #selfesteem often occurs because they don't have a stable sense of
Self. When this happens & the smallest failure is pointed out, they will #RAGE This may look like swearing, snorting, spitting, violence, screaming & melting down or covert and is always directed back at the person or projected back on the 'perceived' accuser.
From my upcoming book 'Fixated': Analyzing the language of the dark triad': This is an example of common psychopathology in 'language' responses, with consent from a client. These are common responses. What happens when we set boundaries with ASPD, NPD, BPD, etc.? #Mentalhealth
Setting #boundaries with people is healthy. It's what keeps us safe. Trouble is PD's or other socially unskilled people don't like or respect them. Example #1 Q: Please stop following me online, leave my social media alone & stop leaving unwanted comments. A: What do you mean?
Do you want me to ignore you when I'm on the Internet? Pretend you are not there? Or set my settings to screen you out? Or do you want me to have a special software program created specifically that filters your name out every time I'm on the Internet? #toxic #manipulation
Narcissistic abuse is all pervasive, across all areas, affects all involved with a #narcissist. It involves a wide variety of manipulative tactics, is longstanding, highly abusive, coercive, sophisticated, subtle, of long duration, highly controlling, utilzes #narcissistic agents
It is used overtly or covertly by the narcissist or their 'agents'. It is designed to attack your independence, autonomy, to #control you, to break you down because it makes them feel better, period!#Gaslighting works under the guise of caring about you. It is designed to
Get you to deny your own #reality. This is. It loving. Many other manipulative tactics are involved. They are also not loving or kind. A narcissist recruits an entire community to do it's dirty work for him/her. The Narcissitic agents are also part of the problem. It is usually

6. Surround yourself with high frequency people 7. Say "NO" to peer pressure 8. Say "NO" to ALL manipulative people 9. Spend time alone everyday 10. Be selective with who you share your energy with, the places you got to, what you watch & who you listen to #shielding

Therapist Tip for your #mentalhealth: How to spot a #narcissist We are in a #narcisstic #psychopathic and #sociopathic epidemic. Look for these 🚩🚩1. Mirroring your interests 🚩 2. Love Bombing you at first. Feels like bliss 🚩3. Early obsession. Go too fast in any relationship
Fall in love with you in first week(s). 🚩4. Feels too good to be true 🚩5. They are idealising you & you can do no wrong. You are perfect for them. This is the 'honeymoon' period 🚩6. Them comes drama out of the blue 🚩 7. They come from a position of "how am I?" #psychology
Wanting others attention 🚩They do not care about how you are or how your day was. Do they ever ask you how you are, how was your day, say "that sounds like a tough day for you", show genuine empathy) Watch for 'false' empathy. Does the conversation always go back to them? #narcs
Therapist Tip 👉🏻The Power of 'NO': the word "no" is a 'boundary'. It is a word that establishes or defines the space between you & someone else. It demands respect & is supposed to be learnt learnt through childhood development. It is a universal cue that people use #boundaries
to let others know that you are not OK about something. Boundaries are designed to keep you safe &/or establish ground rules for the relationship. One of the earliest indicators of #RedFlags in toxic people/relationships is a lack of Respect/empathy for the word "no" #SafetyFirst
This lack of respect is an 'indicator' that someone has a character/personality problem &/or flaw. If a person in your life refuses to listen or respect your "no", you may need help because you now have a 'relational' problem
If you are just learning how to set boundaries in your life, I can’t stress this enough: pay attention to the people who already respect your limits.

23 things that will make #Narcissists LOSE. THEIR. MINDS. 🧵 1. Require them to be responsible for their actions. 2. Require them to be accountable 3. Require them to be cooperative rather than competitive 4. Require they respect your boundaries 5.Require transparency #boundaries
And no secrets 6. Deny them instant gratification due to their impulsivity 7. Call them out on their inappropriate behavior 8. Trigger their insecurity 10. Don’t bother explaining yourself or arguing with them. There is no point #dontgointotheirjungle #toxic #rages #triggers
11. They thrive on conflict & winning. Do not engage. 12. Do not expect reasonable well intentioned respectful arguments 13. Telling them they need therapy 14. Don’t allow them to manipulate you. Call them out. 16. Require the relationship to be a 2-way street #narcissisticabuse
The #narcissist cannot exist without their #narcissisticagents (flying monkeys), who do their work for them, participating in #narcissisticabuse by proxy. There is alot of information out there on narcissists, but little on their ‘agents’. What type of person becomes an agent?
People who resonate with a #narcissists victimhood or grievance, are highly Suggestible, easily manipulated, socially naive, lack #boundaries have blind trust in the narcissist, need a leader or to be led, are easily deceived and used. All narcissists use their audience
Psychological Mimicking: “I have a friend who copies everything I do & it’s driving me crazy” 🚩 This is an unhealthy relationship. This person is not able to be them ‘self’. They may not know what to do socially or it may be more nefarious. Either way it’s a red 🚩#copycat
Naturally, there is context to these situations. If the behaviour makes you feel ‘creepy’, trust your instincts. People who often mimic, copy, repeat your words & phrases, style of dress, hair, are red flags 🚩 This is NOT normal (except teenagers)
In the beginning, they are agreeable, saying they like who you like, listen to whom you listen too & read your book too! It’s like a perfect match made in heaven, until it isn’t. It just feels too good to be true! (relationship, business partnership, job, friendship).
#Narcissism thread 🧵 15 (more) questions to ask yourself if you are questioning whether someone is a #narcissist
1. Do they devalue, diminish, demonise or harshly judge you or act as the righteous ‘authority’ figure with you regardless of their age, status or employment? 🚩
1. Do they devalue, diminish, demonise or harshly judge you or act as the righteous ‘authority’ figure with you regardless of their age, status or employment? 🚩
Are they #superior? For e.g. A non lawyer preaching to a lawyer about law. 2. Are they #defensive? Do they seem only interested in trying to prove that they are right & you are wrong, in a defensive mode? 🚩They are #competitive not co-operative. Co-operation is a must #healthy
3. Do they demand #attention from you? For e.g., insisting on having the conversation when it’s convenient for them only &/or use emotional #manipulation to ensure conversation happens on ‘their’ terms? They may not answer the question, go off topic, deflect, defensive, accuse 🚩

Will be threatened. You have the right to your own opinions, feelings thoughts. This drives them crazy. They now can’t be in control. 4. Accomodation of your preferences. They can’t stand this as they need to choose your vacation, your dinner at the restaurant
There is no Accomodating your feelings your opinions your wishes. It is their way OR the highway. 5. Change. Change interrupts their fixed narrative or agenda. They hate this 6. Ultimatums. If you have given your #narcissists an ultimatum they are now backed up against a wall.
