I keep trying to find some kind of leftist who claims to have antisocial personality disorder, and the only person I have found so far was on a random leftist discord who acknowledged they might instead be an egregiously misdiagnosed autistic person. I have checked the words "antisocial" and "ASPD" through search on this site, and nobody has ever mentioned personally having ASPD.

Google is unusually useless at the task, too. The most relevant things are articles pertaining to the Soviet and Cuban practices of detaining and imprisoning people who are deemed to be "antisocial." After some digging, I found the usual anticommunist talking point about Stalin and Mao being worse than Hitler or something, tacking on a baseless claim that Stalin and Mao may have been antisocial. No meaningful info.

There's no difficulty at all in finding antisocial fascists, cops, chefs, capitalists, or CEOs. Why can't I find an antisocial comrade? Is there some part about leftism that is inherently exclusionary towards antisocial people? Is it a problem to be exclusionary towards antisocial people?

If any comrade here has ASPD I would really appreciate hearing your experience.

    Abuse, hellworld, and 50 hour work week has made me anti social. I just want to lay in bed and never speak to anyone. I've always had fucked up emotions, especially when it comes to feeling anything. Every doctor I've been to just wants to give me pills and shove me out the door, so I can't know anything about what's wrong with me.

    I don't know if I'm a psychopath or it's just that I'm emotionally numb to everything and always have been. Not really anyway to find out anything about my self or change anything as long as lay dying in this capitalistic world

      ASPD isn't being a shut-in, there's an antisocial person in my family who constantly hangs out with friends. The withdrawal you describe sounds more like depression.

      "Antisocial" is often used to describe shut-ins and socially inactive people, but I was intending to discuss people with antisocial personality disorder.
