Thing is that people can have narc traits without having all the symptoms that would give them the NPD label. After I left my EX I sorted through trying to figure out what I had been dealing with all those years. Narc was one of the things I thought about because much of his behaviors came across that way. I finally had a T who suggested a different possibility because he never met him but only by the things I said about him. I actually researched his suggestion & sure enough, the ASD suggestion in this case can have traits that come across as a narc. Sometimes people can just be @$$-holes & it looks like they are a narc without qualifying for the actual label of NPD because they have so many traits that are similar. That is why we can't diagnose but we can say that most of their traits fall under that category
