Why Are Autistic/ Neurodivergent Individuals More Vulnerable to Cults or toxic groups?

1. Vulnerability:
Autistic individuals face challenges in *social emotional* understanding, making them more susceptible to manipulation by toxic individuals, leaders, groups or cults. 2. Reading Social Cues:
Autistic individuals have a lower ability to detect *deception*. This means they might not recognize when they're being lied to or manipulated, a common tactic in cult/group recruitment. They also may misunderstand someone being genuinely nice to them.

👺Narcissists/predators employ a tactic known as “memory holing” to manipulate and control their victims, a form of ‘gaslighting’. This can cause trauma and PTSD to the target.
👺

Here's how this process typically unfolds:

🔻Distortion of Reality: Narcissists perceive their reality through a *distorted* lens. They deny events, conversations, or promises ever happened. They also live untethered from reality and are often delusional They are known to say, “That never happened,” or “You're imagining things,” even when the target has clear memories or documented evidence to the contrary. This is solely designed to make the victim question their own memory, reality and sanity.

Narcissistic abuse example: Laura and Mark

Laura met Mark at a professional conference Mark was charming, successful, and seemed incredibly attentive. He quickly swept Laura off her feet with grand gestures, constant communication, and an *apparent* deep interest in her life This phase, often called “love bombing,”, made Laura feel like she was in a fairy tale. After all, he was her knight in shining armour, right?

The Shift:
🚩Isolation:
After moving in together, Mark started to subtly criticize Laura's friends and family, suggesting they didn't really care about her or were bad influences

Psychic epidemics or mass psychosis is what we are seeing today 2023 & appears to be a collection of several smaller psychic epidemics forming into a much larger one.

Jung believed that the human psyche is connected on a deeper level, and when certain *ideas* thoughts words or symbols become charged with emotional energy,
