Hi, I am of age 15 and I believe I have APD or am a high-functioning sociopath. I did research on the topic and believe I do have this. I am not worried about having it but would like to find out if I show symptoms. I am not a social person and do not have friends. I am very intelligent and see that I do manipulate them to receive what I want. I often deceive and manipulate others to get to the top of a hierarchy. I often find myself making plans of how to execute a plan to benefit myself. I dont feel extensive empathy and honestly do not care about other peoples problems. All I need to know is if I am a high-functioning sociopath or have APD or have something else. The only thing I find about myself is I am not physically violent or break rules. I do often have verbal arguments but I do not get in trouble at school or have issues within it. I was not abused at home.

You're describing nothing that's outside the norm of teenage behavior.

[AlphaMikeFoxtrot]

I second Atypical Disaster.

You most likely don't have ASPD. You don't mention a history of conduct disorder and your too young to be diagnosed. In opinion it doesn't seem you have it and we can't diagnosis.

[redsoxrule]

I must agree with Rincad and Atypical Disaster.

You love yourself a lot. That's an awesome quality. As to not caring about other people's problems ... heck ... it's smart of you to not get involved in that unnecessary drama.

‘Love,’ ‘awesome,’ ‘heck,’ ‘smart,’ ‘drama’? I’m, like, waiting for a groovy to drop so we can return to the twenty-first century.

Sheesh.

If you feel like a tiger lying in the grass just outside the watering hole, drooling at the tasty hide of some poor unsuspecting herd member. If you are a wolf dressed as a sheep, a chameleon skin with a darkness so deep. Smiles and compliments to those who can be of benefit. Absolute knowledge and confidence of your superiority. Then feed, and don’t worry about what they call you. You are better off not being seen by them anyway until you are in full sprint.

I would rather have known too when I was your age.

One of the reasons ASPD is diagnosed after 18 is because the symptoms are typically seen in those going through puberty and they typically go away once the person matures. What makes someone with ASPD different from a regular person is that these symptoms stay after puberty and do not go away. From what you’ve said i doubt you have ASPD but by all means feel free to get tested when you’re 18.
