[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 739179, member: 13303"] Sumsky, it is possible that your SS has both antisocial personality disorder and high functioning autism. However, lack of empathy and struggling with connectedness to others is not a trait limited to autism. The neuropsychologist will be able to flush it out. The gold standard assessment for autism is something called the ADOS (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule) and is given over a period of several days. If there remains doubt you can request that SS be assessed with this instrument. It's possible that you may have to travel to a town that has a teaching hospital to get it, if you don't already live in or near one. [/QUOTE]
