 I'm Sam Bagnin and I'm the author of a Malignant Serp Lover, Narcissism Revisited. Children and adolescents with contact disorder are actually budding psychopaths. They repeatedly and deliberately and often joyfully violate the rights of others and breach age-appropriate social norms and rules. Some of these kids gleefully hurt and torture people, or more frequently, animals. Others damage property. Yet others habitually lie, deceive and steal even from their nearest and dearest. These behaviors inevitably render them socially, occupationally and academically dysfunctional. These children are poor performers at home, in school and in the community. As such adolescents grow up and beyond the age of 18, the diagnosis automatically changes from conduct disorder to antisocial personality disorder or psychopathy. Children with contact disorder are in denial. They tend to minimize their problems and blame others for their misbehavior and failures. This shifting of guilt justifies as far as they are concerned their invariably and pervasively aggressive, bullying, intimidating and menacing gestures and tendrons. Adolescents with contact disorder are often embroiled in fights, both verbal and physical. They frequently use weapons purchased or improvised, for instance, broken glass. And they are cruel. Many underage muggers, extortionists, personatures, rapists, robbers, shoplifters, burglars, arsonists, vandals and animal torturers are diagnosed with contact disorder. Contact disorder comes in many shapes and forms. Some adolescents are cerebral rather than physical. They are likely to act as con artists, lie their way out of awkward situations, swindle everyone their parents and teachers included, and forge documents to erase debts or obtain material benefits. Contact disorder children and adolescents find it difficult to abide by any rules and to honor any agreement. They regard social and societal norms as onerous impositions. They stay late at night. They run from home. They are truant from school or absent from work without good cause. Some adolescents with contact disorder have been also diagnosed with oppositional defined disorder and at least one personality disorder in attendance. More about oppositional defined disorder in a future video. Stay tuned.
