Is sociopathy and psychopathy just autism? Or the other way around?
>>
>>34161250
So sociopaths are just psychopaths from poorer neighborhoods?
>>
>>34161250
Is a knife the same thing as a chainsaw because it has sharp edges and cut you?
No, anon, they're two vastly different diseases of the mind with (superficial)similarities far and few between.

Want to explain the differences? Or just use shitty metaphors?
>>
>>34161383
>Want to explain the differences?

The fact that you can't immediately see the differences based on what's in your OP image shows you don't really know what autism is
>>
>>34161333
They're both out dated terms

stupid infographic isn't even true, lmao. secondary psychopaths or "sociopaths" are fully capable of feeling the remorse and guilt a normal person would. psychopaths cannot feel remorse but many can feel guilt, only it is shallow and fleeting. seems to me this is just a comparison of high-functioning and low-functioning primary psychopaths ffs. lmao at the psychopath's "controlled behaviour".

and no OP, psychopathy and autism are unrelated.
>>
Don't autists lack sympathy, while psychos lack empathy.
>>
>That entire infographic

OP, you know that neither term is really even used in modern psychological study anymore, right?
>>
>>34161383
Not him and you're probably baiting but since I've got nothing better to do: psychopathy/sociopathy is based more around what your diagram states while autism is not being able to understand how others feel and think, there's also not being able to understand subtle non-verbal cues.

If you really are so stupid that you don't have the forethought to search up the two disorders in the absence of understanding them on any real level just go on Wikipedia for christ sake.
>>
>>34161333
sort of. psychopaths are born, sociopaths are made. sociopath's commit the same sort of crimes as psychopaths, but sociopaths are burdened by the shame and guilt of their actions, they are neurotic and anxious whereas psychopaths have too much prefrontal white matter to feel anxiety whatsoever.
>>
I've always thought of it as

>Sociopaths = spree killers

>psychopaths = serial killers

I think that sums it up pretty well
>>
Both are outdated terms, and that graph is incorrect.
I have low empathy myself, and I'm not a "sociopath."
>>
aspd is much more prevalent in black people than any other race, explains quite a bit.

So it has zero correlation with autism then?

Sometimes I believe I'm one of those, but I'm not an evil person; rather, I'm better than most people in terms of morality.

I just hate people for no reason, probably my innate ideological tendencies to hate "degeneracy", not even because of /pol/, it's something I was born with. It's like if I was #LiterallyHitler. I don't think Hitler was a Psychopath though.
>>
I think i fit into psychopath, although i'm not a violent person, so there's no way i will hurt anyone. But other traits are accurate.

Fuck. WHY ME ? Why am i so evil and dangerous ? I just want to be normal and healthy and straight and stable and empathetic just like everyone else. I don't want to be this monster. I can't help it. If God hates suicide, why does He make someone like me ?
>>
>>34162114
There's one symptom I just remembered, I get erections with violence for no reason.

you sound like a narcissist m8. hitler probably had bpd fyi.
>>34162257
that's not a symptom.

>>34162115
sounds like you're just anxious bro and guilty. we all lack empathy at times.
actual psychopath's gloat about how much they'd like to hurt other people, you say there's no way you'd hurt anyone so you sound cool.

What if I tried but failed?
Held my cat under the pool at age 15, but she struggled too much and I was sick of getting clawed.

i put my cat in the closet once when i was a toddler...

No autists don't enjoy violence. Autists can form bonds with people, they just particular about who. Autists don't manipulate people. Sociopaths/pyschpaths are outside of the social game because they understand it better than anyone. Autists are outside the social game because they understand worse than anyone.

Other than a job and violence i fall into the Psychopath category quite well. Not counting close family the only being which stimulates any form of emotional response from me is my dog.

Not really a symptom you're right, however I do have some bad attitudes that are uncontrollable.

>he's quite stupid socially though
>make fun of him in public
>he tells me he wants to kill himself
>tell him that he should probably do it since nobody would miss him anyway
>still treat him like a pet

I think I'm a narcissist though, since I'm actually really proud of everything I do, including wrong things (at least I never admit that I'm wrong, though sometimes I know what I did was wrong). The thing is I think most narcissists are autists that don't have any social relationships, while I do.

>inb4 normie get out

I'm not a normie, since in my inside I'm actually quite different.

psychopathy is actually a very sad condition. it is nothing to be glamorized.
>>
Members of my family accuse me of having zero empathy or guilt, but I think I just lack the social skills to know how other people feel. Psychopaths understand how others feel; they just don't care. Autists like me may come across like psychopaths because we fail to recognize that we are being insensitive.
>>
>>34162612
I also love talking about myself. I used to be a tripfag :^) **on /gsg/**.
>>
>>34162616
I never meant to glamorise it with my post. It's actually pretty fucked up that I may or may not have some unseeble mental defect that I can't control or fully understand since I never knew different. Well I arranged a meeting with a Psychologist for the 19th since I wanted to be tested for autism/bpd etc as I want to be sure what I'm dealing with, I've avoided all my life labeling myself as "X" or "Y" since I don't want to play into a self fulfilling prophecy but the prospect of NEETbux and peace of mind sounds great now that I'm going back to college after a 2 year depression/NEET break

I have a child's soul when talking. Probably one of my most redeeming features, I still the world as a child.

I am diagnosed with ASPD, this picture is a load of bullshit, psychopath and sociopath aren't terms found in the current diagnostic and statistic manual. If you have ASPD, you have ASPD, that's that. No such thing as a diagnosis of psychopathy or sociopathy.
