[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 626943, member: 14557"] Mine does not have ASPD, but it is something I did give a lot of taught few years ago. One reason for that is, that he does have an addiction that is very common among psychopaths and narcissists, in different studies up to one third of compulsive gamblers are psychopaths or narcissists and that is a huge over presentation. He was also being much more difficult at the time, but being a minor then, his psychiatrist only toyed with Conduct Disorder diagnosis. I gave a lot of consideration to Borderline (BPD), but years after that has shown that difficult child's behaviours and issues are not quite as inflexible than is typical for personality disorder. PTSD is much more fitting diagnosis for him especially when he is showing some maturation out of the most bothersome 'personality disordered' traits. Tendency for splitting, certain aloofness and emotional distance and difficulties to commit will likely always be part of him, but even those have lessened significantly and are more close to normal range already. In the way personality disorders are about immaturity, basically psychopath is someone with two-year-old's moral and emotional maturity. My difficult child is slow, but he keeps moving in maturity road, so PD diagnosis do not really fit. [/QUOTE]
