A report on his behaviour found that it was more typical of psychopathy than autism
It can be very difficult to differentiate between ASD and a PD in adolescents and young adults as symptoms of the various cluster types can also be symptoms of ASD. Its why when an older person is seeking a diagnosis of ASD the possibility of a PD is also considered.
Its also possible for someone to be both on the AS and to have a PD. Perhaps that's the case with this young man.
Its not so long ago that to mention ASD and PD's in the same breath would have caused great upset (amongst the parents of those who are on the spectrum) but that's changing and there's plenty of research now being done on possible links between the two.
I find it all fascinating and I often wonder if ASD is a spectrum disorder then is it possible that PD's are also and if so what came first?
