I hope I am welcome here since I do not have ASPD. However I do not see people with ASPD as bad people. Interesting, yes, but so is everyone else.

Perhaps I should start over. Hi my name is Kris.

My therapist has told me, that from all that I've told her about my dad, she thinks my dad has symptoms of ASPD because he has no real connection with other people, and does not really show emotion. He never tells me he loves me, or anyone. He thinks he has Asperger's Syndrome, but he has never shown remorse for anything he has done to me or anyone else. Yes, he abused me.

All I want to do is learn more about my dad, and where he is coming from, and why he is the way he is. I want to understand. I'm not looking for a reason why he abused me. Quite honestly, I feel as though he fits Asperger's Syndrome more than ASPD, but I was wondering if anyone knew if there could be some sort of cross between the two, where symptoms might overlap. I am more interested in why he doesn't show remorse or say he loves anyone. Perhaps someone can shed some light on this subject.
