I wonder if anyone in this group who has Asperger's Syndrome might
also fit the criterea for Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Yours Truly certainly does! In fact, I'm beginning to wonder what the
difference is. I suspect it has to do with etiology. In NPD the
problem derives from cold parents, whereas in Asperger's Syndrome the
condition arises from infantile trauma for which the parents aren't to
blame, as in premature birth, cesarean birth, severe illness, etc. In
either instance, the child would be distrustful of all external
reality, and especially the mother who is the prototype of all
external reality. So, I imagine the resulting personality disorder,
be it NPD or AS, would be nearly indistinguishable.
