Another place where this view falls short is that a person doesn’t need to have NPD to act like a narcissist on a regular basis, the same way a person can be volatile and not meet the criteria for BPD.
No, that’s not true. It’s not true because that’s not how we use disability language. Neurotypicals do not act autistic, and they don’t act ret**ded. Some people do use words that way, because those words are slurs. Likewise, when you insult someone by likening their behaviour to disability by calling them a narcissist, that’s a slur.
