Anyone think the relational part of their brain is gone?

That's definitely how I feel sometimes. And this was expressed clearly in an ink blot test that I took when I got screened for Borderline PD (I didn't have it).

I think, by most measures, my social skills are at least ok, even by NT standards. But I don't really do relationships of any sort or even know how they work. Guess I'm a slight sociopath.

I wonder, given how severe my NLD is, if anyone's ever heard of an organic cause of this sort of thing. It definitely doesn't seem to be typical even on the autism spectrum, particularly among those who show up as "mild" as I do to professionals.

I am definitely too responsible most of the time to qualify for sociopathic disorder or psychopathic disorder, although there are times when I do exhibit traits of both (and other times when I exhibit the opposite of those traits).
