Yeah, sometimes I still lurk on reddit and when I go to certain subs I'll see a lot of autistic people who really buy into that. I've seen other autistic people post about how they're either 'narc magnets' or 'narc repellent'. It frustrates me to see ableism against people who are perceived as 'deserving' it when we as autistic people already face so much ableism from neurotypical people. I mean, I understand on one hand feeling hurt when you're a victim of abuse and trying to make sense of it, but the way to do that isn't through.....the whole 'narc abuse' pop psychology BS. Back when I had an account I would try to speak out against it, but reddit is getting worse and worse with its data collection, so I'm back to lurking only (using redlib). At least I generally see other people doing it as well, even if they're not always well-received. So hopefully, in time, it'll change, but I don't know.
