Personality disorders are seen by the American Psychiatric Association as an enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the expectations of the culture of the individual who exhibits it.

Is there anybody else with ASPD?

I'm 23, I was just diagnosed around August of last year. I know others who claim to have ASPD, but their actions tell a completely different story. I would really like to meet someone who genuinely has the disorder.

My 17 year old daughter has been diagnosed with this. I’m devastated. Trying to cope/understand. Trying figure out how to parent a teen like this.

Well, it's certainly not a death sentence. I'm glad you're trying to understand her and parent her, regardless. It's more than a lot of parents in your position would do.

You sound borderline.

Random fact:

In early DSM versions it was called
'Unstable Personality Disorder'
&
At one point it was defined as "Bordering between psychotic and neurotic"

However, Borderlines can have Antisocial traits and / or Narcissistic traits (and / or Histrionic); they can also be extremely dissociative.

Some people want to re-label it to Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
