My PhD therapist has recently told me that she will be diagnosing me with AsPD, after 4 months of court-ordered therapy.
The court by now knows that i'm a sociopath, so i took this opportunity to open up fully to my therapist, and get her feedback. I very much value feedback, as knowing where people's heads are at is great when seeking control over other people. You need to know how to micromanage your facial expressions, tones, word-crafting, etc and make it so it's in agreeance with your opponent's perception of you.
Anyway, the question now becomes, am i a sociopath or a psychopath? My therapist even opened up in telling me that she was wondering the same thing. Her main reasons for thinking i could be a psychopath are a) i "play different roles like Ted Bundy" by compartmentalizing, b) i have a legitimate flat affect, and c) i am charming and very high functioning (Graduated college, tested 122 on the IQ test administered by her, and had a stable job even though i've been to prison twice). But she also says she has no idea, because i am so damn contradictory. So this is something i may never find out, unless i go to a forensic outpatient clinic that she recommended to me where a world renowned author on criminal psychopathy practices. I do not plan on spending $1000 out of pocket for the assessment, so here we are.
