I don't believe any research has been done on the topic. I suppose that would depend on the nature of the antisocial personality.

Also, if someone has ASPD does that mean they are sociopathic or psychopathic?
Neither. ASPD is a wastebasket term. Psychopaths tend to fall into the category, but most antisocials are not psychopaths, and not all psychopaths have ASPD. Sociopath is a layman's term, so there's no real criteria.

P.S. ... Martin?
Thanks for this!
