At first, I felt like ignoring it and dismissing that as it was just normies throwing words around, but when I thought about it I felt like I needed to confirm it.


Symptoms & Criteria for Antisocial Personality Disorder​

According to the DSM-5, there are four diagnostic criterion, of which Criterion A has seven sub-features.

A. Disregard for and violation of others rights since age 15, as indicated by one of the seven sub features:
  1. Failure to obey laws and norms by engaging in behavior which results in criminal arrest, or would warrant criminal arrest
  2. Lying, deception, and manipulation, for profit or self-amusement,
  3. Impulsive behavior
  4. Irritability and aggression, manifested as frequently assaults others, or engages in fighting
  5. Blatantly disregards safety of self and others,
  6. A pattern of irresponsibility and
  7. Lack of remorse for actions (American Psychiatric Association, 2013)
Hmm...

B. The person is at least age 18,

C. Conduct disorder was present by history before age 15

D. and the antisocial behavior does not occur in the context of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder (American Psychiatric Association, 2013)

and when I really thought about it...

I'm not a Psychologist so I obviously got nothing in being able to make any hypothetical, professional diagnosis but I have got my bachelors in Psych and worked with autistic people for about 12 years. Possible comorbid condition? Curious to know what other psychfags think.
