So, how do you know if you're dealing with a sociopath?

[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 531525, member: 3419"] Welcometowitsend, that all sounds very, very Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) to me. I have known 3 sociopaths. They ALL bought Christmas presents. And birthday presents. It's one way they know how to woo people. They are VERY personable. The opposite of your son. VERY manipulative. They don't "get" that they are causing other people emotional pain. But they can be taught. I have to say, it's way harder to teach a sociopath than an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) because the sociopath will memorize it to be Machiavellian. The Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) will memorize it because he likes order, or because a parent has put a reward along with-it. NONE of the sociopaths had flat effects/affects. I just met someone 2 mo's ago on a FB Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) page, and her son is in jail for 6 yrs. They had no $ for an atty, and the judge and prosecutor noted the flat effect as a lack of remorse. Arrgh! I feel so sorry for her! (And the son.) This wk, she rec'd two letters from others who knew him in the pen, and said that he is a model of decorum, respect and calm. Never once has he complained about how unfair life is. A sociopath would be claiming his innocence and calling the press. Think: Blogdanovich. Eddie Haskell. :) I hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
