I forgot about Dependent PD.

Schizotypal PD is a tricky one. I'd say that it's misdiagnosed Schizophrenia if the person constantly hallucinates and stuff, and without it the disorder isn't very special at all really, just very similar to SPD.

The traits I was born with are why I have perceived my life experiences in the way that I have. It would be difficult for me to say who I am isn't the product of genetics with what disorders I have, but a lot of who I am is the product of my past experiences.

How did you find out they were diagnosed with AsPD?

Assuming they were actually diagnosed, of course.

I believe that both apply in the case of APsD particularly.

With the right set of circumstances an individual can be made - that applies to traumatic childhoods and to the systematic deconstruction of a moral or ethical code of an adult. I'd imagine this would be easier if the individual had a pre-disposition towards a PD of course, but generally achievable given sufficient time and resources.

I also believe that those that are 'born this way' are strongly influenced by the socio-economic and familial environment they develop in.  The anecdotal evidence to date - based strongly on Dr Hare's most learned writings - implies that, generally, an abusive upbringing teamed with low socio-economic status and limited opportunities tends to increase the propensity towards violent crime and contact with the criminal justice system.

A more balanced childhood, with greater academic, social, sporting associations and a higher socio-economic status tends to lead towards the development of your corporate sociopath. Hence, they notably absent from Mr Hare's studies.

On a personal note - I am born the way I am. I had a supportive childhood with a large number of family members, no real mental health issues of note in the family history and excellent educational opportunities. 

I am who and what I was born to be.
