The Hidden Suffering of Orihara Izaya

A while back @wawawawawawawawawawawawawa was screaming into the heavens about Izaya having ASPD (antisocial personality disorder) and posted THIS ARTICLE. I read through it the whole time feeling like I was reading an Orihara Izaya character study. While the language is a bit outdated, this article was really interesting to me when I considered it alongside how Izaya's character is written. I wanted to use this article as a lense to look at Izaya, breaking it down and examining what we know is canon about him as well as my own interpretations of him. I want to look at the characteristics of ASPD as outlined by this article and use that to show how Izaya suffers as a direct result of his ASPD. I have been autistic as fuck about this man for 12 years and as such have developed a lot of opinions about him while consuming every bit of media I could find on him (that was in english at least). 

Quotes from the novels are taken from my copies of the books, while quotes from Sunset and Standing Ovation are from translations by Kaede726 and can be found here.

I would also like to formally apologize now because I tried so hard to make this somewhat organized but it just goes off the rails several times because I kept remembering random shit I wanted to add in. Hopefully the places it goes are at least somewhat interesting to you. But anyway with all that said, everyone please feel free to add anything you like to this discussion and I'll be happy to reply especially if you somehow make it through this whole nightmare of an attempted analysis. So strap the fuck in because here we go, motherfuckers. 

Also, in an attempt to make things a bit more organized, quotes from the article will be in blue and quotes from Durarara, Sunset, and Standing Ovation will be in orange.
