[QUOTE="Giulia, post: 531620, member: 14306"] Welcometo, if he does not meet the criterias for conduct disorder, then he very unlikely meets the criteria for Auditory Processing Disorders (APD). It's not because you meet the criterias for Antisocial PD that you have Antisocial PD. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and Antisocial PD overlap a lot, but the root cause is very different. Also, if he really had sociopathy, he would refuse to go to the counselor and he would try to conn the counselor. From what you are describing, it's not the case. He would know how to show the right emotion to conn someone. It does not look like at all. The more I read about your son and the more I think about a social blindness : he lacks so much of social skills that he appears of not caring, not feeling anything inside. Even if he catches up jokes and sarcasm well. It's not that he does not feel remorse after what he did, he just does not know how to show it. Also, it's not because he catches jokes and sarcasm well that it means he has no possibility of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Another possibility can be a NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) - Non Verbal Learning Disability - which mimics Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) but the person catches very well the verbal, not the non verbal cues. (my ex psychiatrist suspected a NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) for me, aside with a Maths Learning Disability) [/QUOTE]
