Has anyone been officially diagnosed with ASPD and received any sort of treatment? If yes, what was it and did it work?

I factually have ASPD (self diagnosed) and need help but don't really know where to turn.

Thanks

Keep in mind, this post is personal experience and not general to everyone.
I have been diagnosed, and honestly I have felt that professional treatment actually hindered my progress. I found it more of a game no matter how much I wanted to take it seriously. I would enjoy manipulating my psychologist into thinking i was doing good, or thinking that things were down.
I found the best way for me to try to better myself was to strive for it on my own. When I would turn to others, I always felt that it was absurd, that I didn't need that kind of help. I still feel that way. I don't feel like I have a problem, just that I have things i need to work on to better who I am by societies standards.

I'm not diagnosed aspd, but I've been to nearly 100 therapy sessions. They've made me worse. Eventually I realized I never had an interest in changing myself (I was about 11 when I was forced into counseling, and I didn't care then, either, but I didn't know it at the time).

Later in my teens, these sessions turned outright to games of manipulation. I faked bipolar 1 disorder successfully and earned a high school diploma in two years because I was excused from so much work (I took time off rather than graduating early).

In a way, I'm a bit of a unicorn because I evaded detection and trouble all my life. Now I'm getting a neuropsych test next month, because I honestly want help.

I have no direction, my life is underwhelming, I've got a bit of ocd. I simply dont know what to do with myself, and I'm curious what they'll have to say.

It's going to be 4 hours long....I would suggest you get a thorough evaluation, too, and not just some 45 minute session with someone once a week. Therapy designed for normal people is not healthy or doesn't work as intended for antisocial people.
