I stole this thread topic from Ghost147 who posted it in the AsPD section on Psychforums. Though, I changed the thread title to include those with AsPD and sociopathy.
The questions are for every parent with AsPD, sociopathy and/or psychopathy. If you don't have any children yet, you can still answer the questions anyway, because I am curious to see how you believe the questions would apply to you if you were a parent. I will also answer these questions when I'm not so tired.
1: being an individual who isn't supposed to be capable of feeling guilt, remorse, empathy, or love, have you noticed that - being your offspring - you have, at the very least, some of these connections with your child/children?
2: do you find that, regardless that they have came from you, you still victimize them like anyone else? Or perhaps more so since they are easier to access?
3: seeing how you have a natural disconnection with people, do you view your children the same way you view everyone else? For instance, are they equal in value to your neighbor?
3 (part two): if your answer is "yes" to question #3, do you view them equal sexually, too? Also, what would your opinion be on the topic of incest?
4: what forms of punishment would you inflict on your child if they had A) committed a mild act; such as breaking a glass unintentionally. B) committed a harsher act such as; throwing a fit and slamming the door. C) committed a serious act, such as; physically harming another individual, or taking your vehicle for a joy ride. And D) committed a grossly poor act, such as; a serious crime which requires years in prison.
5: would you protect your children if they were in harms way?
6: (if you have more than one child) do you ever single-out one child, and pick on them? Why that child?
7: would you ever sacrifice yourself in order to save your child? (In a life or death situation)
8: have you noticed any antisocial and/or psychopathic tendencies in your children? And would you prevent those tendencies, or nurture them?
