[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 433131, member: 831"] I just wanted to offer up some info on ASPD. As another poster mentioned, this is a diagnoses not given until after the age of 18. Also, another prerequisite is having the diagnoses of Conduct Disorder before the age of 18. ASPD is a very, very, grave diagnoses because few seek treatment. Why? Those with ASPD generally don't think that anything is wrong with them; those who are diagnosed with ASPD have developed[I] repeated patterns of antisocial behavior[/I], sometimes over years or decades as adults. I offer this information because your difficult child is still young and his behaviors NOW may not be his behaviors in the future. At least, I hope they are not. Nonetheless, you want him to move out and have given him a deadline. At this point, if you want to treat him as if he IS a ASPD, that is probably a good idea given the situation. But, as a diagnoses, it's just too early to tell. [/QUOTE]
