Yes, it is very interesting. She also did some research on ASPD and specialised in this area, to help other people with her condition and fight against the stigma and misinformation about it.

She wrote a memoir about her experience called “Sociopath: A Memoir.” Would love to hear your thoughts about her work in your deep dive.
