[QUOTE="aninom, post: 325294, member: 8513"] I remember that site, I think I must've browsed it some years back when I'd first heard about it being ASPD. A lot of diagnosed people writing there. Before I read up on it, it was extremely upsetting and almost ridiculous to think of my sister as a "sociopath" - there is this black and white picture of what the label means out there that I fell for, popular culture portraying people with ASPD as slash-happy sadists. I don't think difficult child likes hurting people overly much, I really don't - it's more as if she hurts people because she feels they're in her way or bothering her somehow, and when it's done or while she's doing it, she doesn't "get" the fact you're sad, upset, or hurt. If anything it only annoys her further - "why are you crying? why are you pretending?" It just doesn't connect. It makes her confused and annoyed. I think she like it better when she's not fighting with us, but then we go and do something she finds annoying, and she can't help herself. Boom goes the dynamite. Maybe it's not so much that ASPD:ers are teenagers, as that all teenagers have a little ASPD? It's just so FRUSTRATING! You'd think it'd be obvious to her by now that she can't go on like this without flunking more chances with her school, without alienating more people, without impulse-throwing away half of her life. But no, she's oblivious. And the more stuff that goes wrong because of her behavior over the years, the worse she gets towards us when we try and help her fix things. [/QUOTE]
