[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 433889"] I would agree about drug use, I think it changes everything and if your son is using drugs it is hard to have any kind of clear diagnosis. If he is not then I really wonder if you are missing something because a lot of signs are there. My son could fit a lot of the criteria for ASPD but as a child I saw very clear signs of empathy and remorse and I still see some of those signs now and then, although I think he shows them even less to me these days than other people. It is those signs of empathy and remorse that make me think he is not ASPD. I do think if your son has displayed those in the past, and even currently then the diagnosis of ASPD is at least questionable. Like I have said in other posts I am not convinced that at this age a diagnosis of ASPD is all that helpful..... I do agree however that recognizing that his behavior at this point is not your fault or your responsibility. [/QUOTE]
