Possibility of Psychopathy?

Hello all, I am relatively new to this place but it is nice to have a place to possibly get answers or a help towards one. First off I am in about my mid twenties. I'll start from when I was a young boy. Ever sense I can remember I have been a loner per say, I never really minded being alone, I had a few friends growing up. But it was random in if ...

HPD due to 'nature,' HPD due to 'nurture' ?

Everyone has probably heard that in ASPD there are widely considered to exist two models
(1) Psychopaths. Normal upbringing, but due to presumed genetics and different brain structures they exhibit behaviors conforming to the "Psychopathy Checklist."
(2) Sociopaths. Forced by circumstance to grow up within poor environments, ones that make antisocial and criminal behavior adaptive. Otherwise, their genetic inheritance and brain structure are within the normal range of variation.
Of course this is a simplification, ...

Aspies being made out to be incapable of functioning

Hey guys, this is my first post on Psychforums, to give some background info on me I am a 20-year-old male.

As far as I am aware, I do not have Asperger Syndrome. I first suspected that I had it in about February 2008 if I remember correctly. I saw a psychiatrist in early December 2010; I was seeing him in order to get a general mental health assessment. (I had organised that via my ...

Waiting tables

One job I had a really hard time with was waiting tables; whenever it'd get busy, I would start messing up, mixing things up, and feeling overwhelmed (and accordingly withdrawing into myself). But I never understood: Why did I have such a hard time? What is it about Asperger's that makes such a job so difficult?

The Lance of Memory

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate
And though I oft have passed them by
The day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon and East of the Sun.


--- The Road Goes Ever On, J.R.R. Tolkein

This story is awful. Please be warned, and read no further if you are not in a state to take it ...

What kind delusions you get?

I have bipolar type 2, i assume. lately I have got bizarre delusions like me being firewood burning or other people being reptiles. I know my thoughts are odd but they feel real. I haven't got any kind of delusions before (as far as I know). I just find really odd to have so bizarre thoughts. Doctor wanted to describe quietapine. Not sure if I will take, as I breastfeed.
