i’m writing romance, and i’m writing a sociopath, and i’m also writing a sociopath in love. I was wondering you peeps knew any resources I could use to help write the two more accurately? being super empathetic and aro/ace myself i’m basically clueless about how these type of people’s brains would work. yes i’ve done a lot of research on this topic but I still don’t know anywhere I could gain non-scientific resources for this.
I was going to say hit up the DSM-5, but then you said non-scientific XD. have you thought about hitting up groups? like Facebook groups or Reddit groups where you can learn from people who live with the disorder? Sometimes you can go to group therapy sessions for certain addictions and disorders, too - if you want to speak to people in person. Anyways, these were my first thoughts.
