  Just think, you are falling in love with a woman because of your chemistry. You are feeling sexual, attracted because certain chemicals are released in your body, certain hormones are moving in your blood. If those hormones are taken out, if that chemistry is changed, you would not feel attracted. All love would disappear. The moment you think of the chemistry of love, love disappears. Then there is only chemistry – two chemistries attracted to each other, almost victims of chemistry. The joy, the gladness, the glory, the splendor are all gone. The scientist tries to supply answers, although the scientist has failed. But people have not yet heard about it. This century has seen one of the greatest phenomena: the scientist has failed, utterly failed, because the scientist has come closer and closer to truth, and the closer the scientist comes to the truth, the more bewildered he becomes. The closer he comes to truth, the more the truth seems to be more and more mysterious, unknowa...

Simon Baron-Cohen who is one of the lead researchers on autism and is a prominent member of the British National Autistic Society, has a pet theory that autism leads to an increased masculinization in social behavior, physical features and interests. This is literally his idea. He's done some research that tries to prove that this occurs because of increased levels of testosterone exposure in utero, which would make the infant become more masculinized compared to the norm. He built this idea based on the stereotypical presentation of autism and gender roles, where he posits that preferring to think in terms of structure and logic is a feature of male behavior, and to reason with emotions is female behavior. Since autistics (based on his perception and research at the time) were more likely to be systematizing, there must be something to their brain structure that is inherently more male. Of course, we can now see how this is steeped in gender stereotypes especially since a lot of e...

All derived from experience from my NPD biological "father". Narcissism is a defense strategy. They behave as they do because in their mind, the alternative is worse. They can't ever truthfully acknowledge to themselves (and by extent others) that they've done wrong, because if they do, a lifetime of guilt and remorse will collapse their psyche. Which traps them where they are. And similarly, their victims' general need to have their pain acknowledged likewise traps them in the narcissist's orbit. What they want most is the one thing that a narcissist cannot provide.  They cannot see you as you are : it's too painful for them, so they wrap you in a huge ball of denial at all times [3].  I think this is why estranged parents don't "get it".  They are very reactive to those internal states with little to no awareness of said internal states, a dangerous combination [10].  I think that many narcissists lack empathy because it became a coping me...
