Youtube AvPD claptrap.

cool, these are really interesting.

hmm, he's basically just repeating the DSM-VI criteria and adding something extra on that, which might I add, sounds completely wrong.

"They don't want to interact" "They don't like to interact" "They prefer to be alone"

That's not really how it is. We opt (!) for those, because we're afraid. One major component of the diagnosis is the desire to connect with others. The way he explains it is basically as a sensitive Schizoid. Who is this guy anyway?
