Okay I don't know if this is the right place to put this but I didn't know were else to and I thought this would be the best place to since I have assbergers and my friend does too this could be kind of long so please forgive me and forgive me for any misspellings or punctuation errors. I have known this guy since sixth grade we have always been good friends in the problem was he would lie all the time like about having a girlfriend and having all of these friends he did't have. In sixth and Seventh grade he was extremely unpopular and got picked on all the time. We are both 19 now we technically were superpose to graduate last year but I came back for a job training program for disabled people and he is in a simller job training program but not for the disabled. Some of the things he has done his lie to the point you don't hat he says his true he lies about driving and having a car and I find out he doesn't even have his temps. He lied about going to cedar point which I latter found out he's never been there until I took him he's even lied about seeing movies that don't even exist and if you call him out he get's really angry. He lives in a group home and has hitted the little kids that live there and was arrested two years ago for hitting a kid. His temper his extremely bad I know kids with assbergers and ADHD have bad tempers myself included but this guy is off the wall he threatened to bomb and shoot up the school kill people etc.He is extremely manipulative about coming to my house if he can't come over he gets angry and he can talk his way into it easily. He has been aggressive with my cat. Some additional details about him is his mom died when he was 10 his dad wants nothing to do with him he has lived in a group home for 10 years even though he is 19 we have to talk to his foster parents before he hangs with me he hacked in his neighbors computer system and he asked if he could move in with me and my family i feel he doesn't really like me and just uses me I don't know who else to talk to but me and my mom aren't trusting him and could anyone here tell me if this guy sound like a sociopath?

If your friend has Asperger's it's difficult to see a personality disorder underneath those symptoms. He's also very young. People don't usually get diagnosed with personality disorders until adulthood.

He appears to have a bad temper, tends to bully and manipulate, and he lies compulsively. He also has a criminal record. He does sound like a sociopath (what in the DSM would be called Antisocial personality disorder). However there can be a lot of overlap between Asperger's and Cluster B personality disorders:

Welcome to the Psych Central community Jax Teller! Your friend certainly has some issues. I can't say whether he sociopathic or not, but if you feel he is using you you might want to put some distance between you.

Good articles.

Well.. He does sound a bit transparent and clumsy compared to AsPD stereotypes. Sociopaths tend to lie - and get away with it. They tend to use people - successfully. Etc. Whereas it sounds like your friend lies in a very obvious, clumsy way, and then gets very emotionally flustered and freaked out when people can easily tell or find out he is full of it. He might have a combination of autism and AsPD traits due to childhood abandonment and bullying issues. But in my amateur perception he doesn't sound like a classic sociopath.

Thanks for the help everyone I've decided I am going to take it one day at a time. I am going to talk to the dean of students when I get back from thanksgiving break to get more advice. I kinda hope he's not a sociopath because he's kind of the only friend I have outside of school.

No. I think he is trying to engage society simply because it is there. I think he is actually enjoying himself here but he doesn't really have any interest in this stuff. Does he want a car or does he want to act like he has a car so that he can engage these people. Was he really going to bomb the school or is he saying that because he knows he won't do it? He should have more confidence in his bravery and in his respect for other people.

He needs to have interests. He needs to get involved with something he really is passionate about and would not lie about.
