Yup! In a lot of ways having ASPD is analogous to not having guardrails or safety interlocks on your brain. It won't warn you via automatic empathy if you're about to do something messed up, so you have to check your actions and analyze yourself much more. Interestingly, most people with ASPD who are relatively "successful" (not in prison, etc) heavily use our prefrontal cortexes much more as a compensatory mechanism similar to how blind people can get really good at hearing.
I have NPD, so I understand a lot of that. What I'm missing is an ego. My parents didn't give Me one. I had to make My own, and it's crap. It kept on falling apart every time it suffered a little knock, so I made it huge with lots of redundancies. Problem is, a lot of neurotypicals are personally offended by a big ego. They think My internal thoughts are an abuse against them. My NPD wouldn't be a disability if everyone else could just get used to My private personal coping mechanisms.
