I hear you, I have this disorder myself. I was surprised as well when I was diagnosed. Soon enough you'll start seeing it in your behaviour and don't worry. Your not "cooked". Those with ASPD can live normal lives you just need insight and help. You may not feel empathy or shame, you may not be able to relate to others and you not be able to tell the difference between wrong and right but none of those things will hold you down. You just feel emotion and perceived things in a different way. That's all.

As for the "alcoholic" thing. It's common for those of us with this disorder to become dependent on drugs and booze. It's a way to satisfy your need for stimulants and to combat chronic boredom. I take both myself but I'm not addicted.

    Ask any Australian/New Zealander who grew up in the late 2000s or early 2010s what they're favourite show was and they'll probably say something by Chris Lilley. In particular Summer Highs High or Jonah From Tonga. I used to love watching these shows when I was younger and Lilley is such a great actor. To this day there still quoted in schools all over NZ and Australia.

    The whole point of my thread was about how bad ableism is and you respond by comparing those with cluster B personality disorders to the worst thing there is. People with personality disorders are just people with a illness that can be helped but pedophiles are just irredeemable and pure evil. All the hate directed at them is completely warranted.

    "Autism isn’t considered “wholesome,” it is the subject of mockery and common insult, replacing “retard.”

    Sometimes, it's seen in a lot of ways. Using "autism" as an insult isn't as common as it used to be. Nowadays people see autism as the "quirky" and "odd" condition.

    "As someone with autism, people with the personality disorders you describe often try to target us for abuse."

    Don't get me wrong cluster B personality disorders are awful but we shouldn't demonize everyone who has them and assume everyone with a cluster B personality disorder is a monster.

    "Fortunately for me, I was raised in an environment that I have a hard shell and fight back, but many aren’t so lucky."

    Hmm, ok. I was raised like that too.
