Funnier With ASPD @funnier-with-aspd - Tumblr Blog

Hellooo…

This blog is inspired by other blogs of its niche, such as @funnier-with-bpd, @funnier-with-hpd, and @funnier-with-npd2! I noticed that there wasn’t one for ASPD, so I decided to make one. Feel free to tag or DM this account to submit posts!

You can also send anons about whatever, including both feedback and experiences you may have had before you found out you had ASPD that are funnier or make more sense in hindsight.

This is a sideblog… I can’t follow/like from here, but I am active on Tumblr overall.

I’m tired of people watering down the meaning of ASPD to remove all “stigma” or “stereotypes” to the point where it just ends up sounding like high-functioning autism spectrum disorder or schizoid personality disorder with a new label.

funnier-with-aspd

No hate to people who are schizoid or who have autism, but I actually don’t have a lot in common with people who have these disorders on the whole because I have… an entirely different one; if you can only accept people with ASPD when you’ve reframed our symptoms enough to make us seem socially anxious or avoidant, more asocial than antisocial, then you don’t accept us. Don’t pretend to.

I don’t relate to social anxiety symptoms ESPECIALLY; I find that pathetic, in fact. I choose not to act on it, but being assumed to be like that myself certainly makes it hard.

I need you guys to understand that “psychopath” means “person with ASPD of an assumed psychogenic/mostly psychogenic nature who scores high on the PCL-R” and “sociopath” means “person with ASPD of an assumed traumagenic/mostly traumagenic nature who scores high on the PCL-R”. Nothing more, nothing less… Certain personality factors may be more common in one instance of ASPD than another, but it is a myth that everyone with the disorder is either “calm, charismatic, and emotionless” or “impulsive, unstable, and violent”.

I would be interested in research articles that show this, because the research I've done has said otherwise.

"Psychopathy" is a psychological profile (NOT a diagnosis) only assigned to individuals who commit felonies while also fitting the criteria for ASPD and scoring high on psychopathy measures such as the PCL-R. As of now, there is no significant research about non-violent or non-criminal psychopaths.

"Sociopathy" is an arbitrary term to describe ASPD, whether or not the ASPD is trauma-based (which most cases are). The vast majority of people who claim to be psychopaths online are either lying or misinformed.

funnier-with-aspd

Find me research articles that prove the opposite.

Sociopathy is not a term that research articles seriously use. That doesn’t mean that it can’t mean something in any setting. My post was not about clinical diagnoses (ASPD was the only one mentioned, and the only relevant one in any case.) My post was about people applying arbitrary meanings to pop culture terms in a way that has been reapplied to clinical ASPD and made it seem as if we are all either Patrick Bateman or the Joker.

The prefix “socio-” quite literally means relating to society or sociology. Social psychopathy, to put it plainly. The term does not need to be rooted in science or linked to psychological studies to be able to be defined at all, and the idea of sociopathy being social is commonly referred to even when there is also the whole… Jokeresque exaggerated description of a more impulsive presentation of ASPD (which is a trait that can be more easily tied to trauma in clinical studies, in comparison to coldness.) Yes, psychopathy and sociopathy are used interchangeably in most articles that even use those terms, but this shouldn’t be surprising considering the fact that… neither are diagnoses. These terms still impact the lived experiences of many people with ASPD, because if you tell anyone you have the disorder, they will Google it and see these terms.

Lastly, I am in my 20s, have diagnosed ASPD, and studied psychology in college for some time. The field is full of debates and the DSM is constantly being revised. I am neither lying or misinformed, and while I don’t disagree that a lot of people online are edgy teenage LARPers, if you bring this up anytime you disagree with someone who claims to be a “psychopath” (not that I even USE that term for myself), then you likely have no real legs to stand on when it comes to an actual debate.

Since you were the person with the original claim that was refuted, the burden of proof falls on you. I am not arguing that sociopath isn't a pop culture term because I know that it is, but psychopathy is a criminal profile and not just a subtype of ASPD or another way to refer to it.

I also find it interesting that you assume that I'm talking about you specifically in my remark about those who claim to be psychopaths online. I was not talking about you specifically, especially since I know nothing about you, but if you assume that I was I feel that shows more about yourself than it does me.

I also have ASPD and am studying psychology (both in college and on my own time), those traits have little to do with your lack of sources to back up your original post.

funnier-with-aspd

What sources, aside from common usage and word etymology, would exist to back up a definition of a pop culture term?

There would be no clinical studies that define the term because it’s not… a scientific term.

If you bring something up in a response to MY post, I’m going to comment on it, yes. That does not say much about me as it pertains to the specifics of what you said.

I am mentioning those things to refute the implication that I’m misinformed about ASPD itself. I am not, and you disagreeing with me when it comes to what a pop culture term means doesn’t change that.

Someone with a brain hardwired differently from birth/TBI would not be a “socio-” anything. That makes zero sense. If you disagree because the people who use that term in a serious setting tend to be stupid and throw it around everywhere, then so be it. I really do not care to discuss this further, especially on a blog like this, and I believe both of us have said what we need to. Take an English class if prefixes having established meanings bothers you so much, and perhaps consider the reality that pop psychology can impact people living with diagnoses (and that psychological terms of any nature can be up for debate even among professionals) because life doesn’t only take place on paper.

I feel like you're being intentionally obtuse at this point. I asked for sources about your post as a whole, because you defined psychopathy and sociopathy incorrectly as they're understood today. Sociopathy is arbitrary in this conversation as, like you said, it is a pop culture term and has little to no standing in medical fields. Psychopathy, however, DOES have standing because it is a criminal profile assigned to people with ASPD who commit felonies or violent crimes. Speaking generally, being born with ASPD does not mean you're a psychopath, it means you have ASPD. While I believe these terms are inaccurate to the actual experiences of people with ASPD, psychopathic profile or otherwise, it doesn't change that you are spreading misinformation by defining them incorrectly.

Literally all I did was ask for sources and criticize your post because you were spreading misinformation, and you doubled down on your points and refused to provide any sources whatsoever. I feel like this reflects much more poorly on you than it does on me.

Psychopathy being described as of psychogenic nature, rather than traumagenic, which is the used description of sociopathy (Both of which are AsPD):

"A “sociopath” refers to a person with antisocial tendencies that are ascribed to social or environmental factors, whereas psychopathic traits are thought to be more innate."

Psychopathy is a condition characterized by the absence of empathy and the blunting of other affective states. Callousness, detachment, and

Psychopathy has a stronger genetic association. [...] Sociopathy can also be inherited, abuse and trauma in childhood are more common causes."

"Psychology researchers generally believe that psychopaths tend to be born (likely a genetic predisposition), and that psychopathy may be related to physiological brain differences. Sociopaths, however, are often made by their environment, although psychopaths may also have suffered some sort of childhood trauma contributing to their condition."
