Dr. Todd always has the slickest punchlines slipped in so casually lmao. That deadpan delivery is top tier 💯 😂
not to mention the sponsorship, I usually skip through those but I let it play through with Dr. Grande. Like mmm yes, good advice on those perfumes
It's why I'm here. Grim stories and he shows a balanced truth when telling them. The occasional deadpan asides are killer. I like the cacti collection too.
There was a video he did with his wife. She seems very sweet and I swear they seem perfect together. They have the same delivery. I imagine a family together at a dinner table analyzing the day’s events and punctuating each with a 1 liner without laughing just nodding their heads. I’d love to be included!
That poem to his dad made me cry. What can a parent do when their kid is a sociopath?
Tell them they can be anything, even President.

😂😂😂👏👏👏
Aaaand THAT is why I have no kids. D.A. NYC
Love them either way.. as heartbreaking as it is.. as a father this story Kinda made me sad.. looking at his toddler pictures smiling.. that’s not evil. May all who died in this story rest in peace..
Same thing GOD did & do with all of us after turning our backs on HIM.
John 3:16
My heart goes out to his parents. I went through similar fears about my son. He’s now living with his dad in another country though it came at a major cost to me. I spent over 130k on therapy, diagnosis etc and nearly lost my job from all these therapy appointments. Sometimes there’s no way out for parents who have kids like this. I consider myself very lucky.
My brother was one of these kids that luckily ended up fine. When I was a kid he would randomly hit me with objects, one time he even put a cord around my neck and drug me around when I was a baby. My earliest memory is my brother twirling a Sega Genesis controller by the cord then smashing it into my face completely unprovoked. He was absolutely violently crazy until he turned around 16 years old and grew up. My mother, father and I were all concerned he was going to end up becoming a murderer. I don’t typically like being wrong but I’m really happy I was completely wrong here.
Sometimes a bad seed is just a bad seed... how they process information and the world is subject to so many things beyond a parents control....
You sound like most the problem, glad he got away.
Your first statement of fact was how much you spent. Cool story bro
@@robbobsjobs8456It was her fourth statement, but don’t let facts get in the way of your feelings.
@@robbobsjobs8456
Somebody that was the problem would not spend near that amount. They wouldn’t care for therapy at all.
I, 56/f, have been trying to keep my brother, 58, from killing our mother for her sizable estate since our beloved father died. It’s been a nightmare. Sometimes we do know evil is in our midst.
Oh dear... that's quite unsettling.
I'm sorry you are going through this.
Right on. A friend of mine died at 67, after experiencing his first ski accident, having been skiing since he was six years old. He had twin sons, one of whom was recently married, and a nice house a few blocks from the beach here in SoCal. I felt like the sons sped up his passing somehow. I’m going to trust my instincts on this one.
You know if he will get rid of his mother for money, the next step is always siblings so they don’t have to share the
‘prize.’
Seems like you’re a target just as much as your mother, you just haven’t realised this yet.
@DC-bp8sx oh my God, holy. Dude, what's crazy is I literally just put on "Stranger things demogorgon theme" right before I inconveniently read your comment. That's actually horrifying 😲
😮 Be safe!!!
I have autism, I am high functioning, it took a lot of work and determination. One of the symptoms I have is not able to feel loneliness. The description of loneliness does not match what I feel when I’m alone. I understand and there is a feeling associated with being alone, loneliness is something I would love to feel. There are all the things that I do not understand, concepts, outside of my innate intellect, is the concept of time. I understand, I keep time, punctual as possible to appointments and gatherings, so this has been taught to me, and I’ve learned… in my mind, what happened in the past it’s like it happened yesterday. Time seems to fold in on itself and I’ll certainly stop a conversation, only a week or sometimes several months down the road, I’ll pick up the conversation again, as if I had never stopped talking on the subject. It had been pointed out to me when I do this we are usually in the same spot where I stopped talking. I do not notice this myself, but my friends have. I have difficulty remembering what day it is, because I lose track of the time that has passed or has not yet passed. it is very difficult for me to express with words what I’m thinking, so I hope I made at least a little bit of sense.
People of average cognition also feel the passing of time going different ways. When you’re happy it goes faster, when you’re sad it seems to slow down. When you’re bored at work it drags on but when you’re at a concert it’s over quickly. I hope you are able to string together the unfolding of time in your mind. I use pictures to find the pathways that guide me back to my memories. Pictures and videos are the bread crumbs.
You may also have syneasthesia, with the space - time presentment
I understand
@@indescribable3865 : the one thing I can say is, I can never get bored. I have so much to learn at the same time, holding onto what I’ve already learned in an accomplished. Refer to unbending, I find that interesting because that is the word that I would use.
@@eveapple4928 : never heard of it. I’ll have to look it up. But not be surprised if it’s also one of the symptoms, but with the name.
It’s truly touching he tried to console his father. He knew his father would feel bad even though he felt nothing.
And you know what's funny is the fact that Aaron had more of a connection with his dad more than most primarily woman since they are the ones who mostly do not as shown in the facts with statistics and evidence speaks volumes. Maybe there's something to learn here especially if his conditions shouldn't allow him to have such connection. This one man was better than most in this society primarily women and had a connection with a dad than them despite his neurological condition
@@AlternateMichaelhuh?
@@AlternateMichaellol dude what are you saying
It makes me wonder how his father managed to make such a strong connection, what did he do different? Many times we hear about aspd despise and being violent towards their parents.
@@jjun2891 His father carried himself with self respect, he wasn't an abusive moron, he remained a positive force in Aaron's life.
The father thinking of killing his son so he wouldn't kill someone else is the exact ending to the original movie The Bad Seed.
Which actually had two endings. Originally it was released with a “happily ever after” ending.
and the little bad azz survived the m/s attempted by the mother! Moms self deletion was successful.
As a child I could feel no sympathy or understanding for my father who would often be put in a mental asylum. I only understood the effects it had on my life. Only now, later in life can I feel sympathy and understanding of the torment he must have gone through.
I hope you still have him in your life 🙏🏼
I get it. As kids, we often don't realize what others are going through. We only know what we are missing. As we get older clarity comes.
All children are self centered.
@@jv-ep2tc Unless they remain in a state of arrested development, with appropriate human interaction, most people will grow out of self-centeredness through undergoing the process of cognitive>emotional>compassionate development.
Many people go their whole lives seeing others only in terms of their "effects." When this form of dehumanization is aimed at the disabled, ill, or vulnerable who can't control the disruption they have on the lives of those around them, the additional pain these vulnerable, already-suffering people experience is, I believe, one of closest things to hell a person can experience on earth. It's like a soul murder, like being annihilated over and over yet still locked into existence
I had considered the same with my son. At 19n he stabbed a woman at Walmart and now is in prison.
What an absolutely heartbreaking story. The man had such astounding insight into himself, yet no ability to change it. Fascinating, but horrific.
To anyone familiar with classical theatre, the fact that his last name is pronounced 'Faust' is nothing short of foreshadowing.
Although there’s some people with the same last name in Southern Texas, that used to own a successful hotel. I believe.
Though Faust wasn’t antisocial. He was an accomplished academic who realized that his degrees mocked how little he knew. Faust’s story is quite different.
@socialcommentary1014 okay, how about this then? An antisocial accomplished academic that realized his degrees mocked how little he knew. I don't think it's that much of a twist
Simulation.
Right?
Aaron was so self aware. He knew what and who he was and admitted it. Glad he wrote that letter to his father, his dad would at least know he was appreciated
I disagree. He was self medicating with alcohol and drugs
@@georgewagner7787one does not cancel the other.
Thank you for being gracious where the Fathers thoughts were concerned. Being the parent of a very troubled child can take you to some dark places.
I have dogs and I'm surely never in "dark places," quite the opposite.
@@Dr.Pancho.Tortilla ???
@@Dr.Pancho.Tortilla Dogs are not your children.
@@Flamsterette Sure.
Sometimes I wonder about having kids, not biological obviously that's only for the foolish, but maybe stepkids. I'd love to get my willie wonkas rocks off in the twilight zone, day n nite, 24/7 relieving that over and over again in time. As the wise nature boy once said (and in that one Blur song 2) "woohoo"
No dark places here! Just unambiguous true love and happiness. Whatever it takes
I went to school with a boy who looked and acted almost identical. I remember being in first second grade being terrified of him. Something was off even at six/seven years old. I wouldn’t be surprised in the least if I found out he was some kind of psychopath/sociopath.
They say you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, but sometimes you should. I've known a couple like him, and they had that kind of look and energy that said stay as far away as you can. I think it might even be more obvious in the early grades when they aren't yet very sophisticated at deception, certainly it's usually obvious to other kids.
I had a similar situation in a private school I was in. A boy that was a narcissistic psychopath bully one time on the bus was sitting next to me & he looked at me with a silly grin smile that turned into a angry psychopathic look in a split second & it scared the living daylights out of me. He went on to committing crime stealing cars with a tow truck & eventually raped a little boy & was sent to prison!!
Aaron’s self awareness and honesty feels quite rare. I watch a lot of crime stories, and I’ve almost never come across one where the perpetrator has admitted feeling no remorse, not pretended to be crazy, and stated as much in court. Just an unabashed recognition of their psychopathy. Fascinating. 💔💔💔
I agree it is rare and fascinating. I would recommend checking out a video here on youtube by JCS- criminal psychology called "what pretenind to be crazy looks like". A few minutes into the video theres a short segment on a young man who killed a college dorm roommate and was caught an hour or so later and he answered all the investigator's questions honestly and indifferently. Its chilling. He was found legally insane bc of his inability to feel and know right from wrong. He doesnt even try to lie or get out of trouble. He was like you said - unabashedly forthcoming about everything. Its the only interview I've ever seen where someone is like that. Check it out!
@@BohoAstronaut I will most definitely watch that!!
@@BohoAstronaut omg I just watched it…wow, that is just shocking!! That type of mind is incredible in the most deranged way!!
Also, this guy was the opposite of Ted Bundy, most even say that about Jeffrey Dahmer. And I think Jeffrey may be a similar case
@@amandaduerk5866 I'm glad you liked it! It's crazy isn't it? The way he just answers every question without any emotion behind it. And when he's asked if he regrets it he says something like he regrets that he got caught so quickly. And he goes through the crime step by step like he's describing running errands.
I never realized how much I don’t want to watch Dr Grande hawk perfume until just now.
I do not like scents..they make me cough uncontrollably. I do like/love Dr. Grande…if being sponsored by a product I don’t care for and I don’t think aligns with the person Dr Grande seems to be…so be it…it keeps the channel healthy and Dr Grande here for us.
😂😂😂
you'll know he's sold out if he ever starts shilling for better help
I don’t mind it, he chose his selling points well and it doesn’t seem too forced. I’d say anything less tame than this might be a bit off putting to me, especially during an episode talking about murderers and criminals. But like, he’s gotta pay the bills just like everyone else!
Unfortunately it comes with the territory on UA-cam. I don’t hold it against content creators.
I have an aunt who said she really considered killing one of her sons who had behaviors like this when he was a child. He was constantly in trouble and always hurting other children, including his siblings. He would also hurt and torture animals, which is hallmark behavior for a future serial killer. Nothing her and her husband did or said seemed to work. She said the only reason she didn't kill him was she knew family and neighbors would question where he was, and she didn't want to go to prison. He went to church with a friend one day and it was like a switch turned on. He ended up becoming a preacher, working a full-time job, getting married and having children who all loved him dearly. Everyone was shocked that he actually made something of himself other than a prisoner or dead. He passed away from a heart attack before he turned 50 and we miss him very much.
In addition to the soul, there is the "spirit" & this kid his spirit became alive by accepting J.C./Yeshua in his life & he really meant it. There are humans who have a soul but no spirit & these are the ones who cannot be reached!! The spirit connects a human to God!!
But he hurt animals so I bet he was just narcissistic and got supply from church
Not only did he lack remorse he also completely lacked fear. Not even death was scary for him.
Psychopaths don’t feel fear. Sociopaths do.
Why would you fear death? Every person / even every animal has this destination. Like breathing, eating, sleeping its just part of our nature. Maybe you could be afraid of the process of dying like feeling intense pain or being in an situation others see you vulnerable but death itself is just something to not worry about because you can't change that
@antonbellis2397 The process, and the eventuality of it, and the fear that there really is nothing.
@@BunnaySango That would have to be the least scary thing. If there is nothing, you will never know it. There will be the same amount of 'you' there was prior to being born to experience it or reflect on it. And, no worrying about whether you picked the right god to worship out of the tens of thousands of gods that've been worshipped by different cultures throughout history.
@@antonbellis2397 I fear death because I absolutely love living. I get so much much satisfaction and joy from raising my kids with my wife, interacting with friends, doing activities on my own, talking to strangers, exploring the Earth, etc. The thought of that ending fills me with dread, even though I accept that once it happens I won't think anything ever again. Add to all that the pain my wife and kids will go through when I die and it all adds up to a pretty big negative from my perspective.
Those pictures of him show that a smile can hide a lot. Looking at his cheerful countenance, you'd never guess at the darkness beneath.
That poem got to me, as does the fact that he understood on a coldly objective level there was something wrong.
There was a contract killer who I think was called Iceman - and he had the same lack of remorse or feeling, and he too understood on some level that it wasn't normal.
I remember the iceman story
My dad was a CO who had Iceman in Graterford prison. He weirded my dad out.
This a textbook case for psychopathic personality disorder. He genuinely did not care about anything; however, he saw his father struggle with him. I find this interesting because it implicates psychopaths are very well aware of sympathy, but they cannot feel it. Kinda like knowing what something is , but never experiencing it. The human mind can be very sad and fascinating
“Psychopathic personality disorder” is not a real diagnosis. Also it’s inappropriate to psychoanalyze people you don’t know or have the authority to scrutinize. Leave it as “he’s a cruel person” without all this armchair psychologist crap. I know true crime audiences like to believe they know everything, but you don’t.😊
@@Sofiaode18 Hi Sofia. I’m in post grad school for psychology. On my way to be a female Dr. Grande. How about you stop judging people you do not know online because you are “triggered.” Have a blessed day. ☺️
@@Sofiaode18any response? You lookin like a fool
@@Sofiaode18 We can tell you are projecting your anger with people who psychoanalyze you. The truth is all psychology is theories and an attempt for people to understand why people act the way they do. So, don't take it personally when people psychoanalyze eachother. Just know in yourself that it's not true, or if many people tell you something, maybe it is true in some way.
It’s really very sad because some kids are just born wired “differently.” Heartbreaking.
I saw the whole interview with the father on the show “Evil Lives Here.” The father was so loving and would do anything to help his son, but nothing worked. His son was just born a psychopath.
I tend to think there was a way to reach him, but no one found it.
@@jamese9283
Yeah. They'll even let you think you've reached them. Just to manipulate you.
I read that he changed right after his mother left. His parents divorced because his mother cheated on his father. I thought it odd that his mother didn't raise him, but perhaps she lost custody due to her infidelity? Obviously he suffered from her loss.
I'm surprised there's such a nuanced comment as yours left on UA-cam. Everyone on UA-cam automatically jumps to the idea that all murderers are raised to be through crappy parenting.
@@skycloud4802 what the fuck are you talking about “nuance “ comment? There’s nothing nuance about it!
Wishing you and Mrs. Grande a peaceful and happy new year 2024!! Many blessings to you both! 🎉🥳🥳🎉
Thank you Dr. Grande for outlining what it is like for the families of mentally ill persons. I do not know if a person with severe personality disorders suffers from their affliction, but I know first hand how family suffers from the actions of them.
As a person who dealt with borderline from 15-33 truuuuust me we suffer GREATLY with our affliction. The depths of our own self loathing, constant feelings of complete emptiness, having no sense of who you are or what you stand for.Most of us die from suicide, drug overdose, or get better through treatment, or in my case aged out of it (its a real thing I'm not making it up you can look it up)
@@DonMega888 Thank you for sharing your experience. In no way was I belittling anyone, it's just that those with mental illness who have done me great damage have never expressed any regret or changed in response for all I have done for them. I do know how devastating their actions were on all around them. It may sound cold, but I cannot afford to waste the little time I have left on dealing with anyone who has these disorders. My ex eventually, as you, aged out of her disorders, but not before scaring the family deeply. I am truly glad to hear you have seemed to reach a balance in your life, it must be a relief for you. Maybe, from a distance, you can let anyone you did damage to know you now wish they can find a way to understand and forgive. May you find peace and be able to come to terms with the past and embrace the future.
@@justanamerican9024 oh trust me making amends was a huge part of my healing
@@DonMega888 I can't know for sure, but I would presume that someone with ASPD would not suffer as much compared to others, since they lack remorse. I have known people (and even dated one woman) with BPD, and their suffering was indeed immense. I'm so sorry that you are facing this illness.
Edit: "Dealt?" That's wonderful that you have found some relief. My ex has as well.
@@DonMega888my therapist just told me I’m either aged out or on the verge. I’m 26 got diagnosed at 17. Honestly i had to isolate myself for a long time. I feel like i can breathe. Hopefully i will be able to have less sessions soon (DBT) that would help with bills 😂
One of your best ones thanks. It’s tragedy. Where the bloody hell did Aaron get this? But he was capable of real love. You don’t bother to write a poem like that -one which isn’t soppy, sentimental, or self-serving , or only all about yourself, but is designed to benefit the welfare of another person in real ways (ie making sure Dad doesn’t feel bad in his life) - unless you have love. Its an act of love - not just an expression just of feelings. This one has got me. Id love to know more about Dad, Mom, and both sets of grandparents. This one was a stunner
he was not capable of love
What a heartbreaking and utterly sweet poem for his father to read. So sad. Thank you Dr Grande!
I want to believe his profession of faith was real, but only God really knows for certain. Dark empaths know how to manipulate people because they have cognitive empathy but lack emotional and compassionate empathy.
The fact that Aaraon had more of a connection with his dad more than most primarily woman since they are the ones who mostly do not as shown in the facts with statistics and evidence speaks volumes. Maybe there's something to learn here especially if his conditions shouldn't allow him to have such connection. This one man was better than most in this society primarily women and had a connection with a dad than them despite his neurological condition
It was a sweet poem with a lot of feel. He started off as a cute little boy. It's sad, it's almost as if his brain short circuited in his head causing conflicting emotions and lack of feel.
@@AlternateMichaelyou don’t make much sense
@@AlternateMichael I have seen this type of connection before because my step-dad was divorced from his first wife. They were long-term high school sweethearts. Once they got their diplomas she said she was pregnant. Even though it was a false claim, they were forced to get married. His father was for it. His mother was against it. This caused a rift between him and his beloved biological father. So, they had to quickly get his new wife pregnant with the first of their three biological children as soon as possible. She became a terrible alcoholic who drank more and more before, during, and after each pregnancy. So, she was a terrible parent. As a single parent who relied on his mother and housekeepers to take care of his boys, he spoiled his kids rotten, long before they got into trouble with the law, to make up for the fact their mother was not a stable part of their lives. In my opinion, the first has Factor 1 ASPD; the second has a Factor 2 ASPD; and the third is Factor 2 ASPD in a folie à trois (i.e., DSM-5 shared psychotic disorder) "honor among thieves"-type of relationship. At my step-dad's death, the last two of his biological sons from his first marriage cried in agony, but his eldest, whom he was closest to, did not/could not. He was noticeably enraged over his brothers' ability to cry along with me as I prayed for my Christian step-dad. His first son's total lack of empathy was disturbing, not unexpected.
From what I understand the frequent razor blade giveaway days have been cancelled in most prisons.
Not when I was with jail. A lot of wardens seem to think prisoners that are clean-shaven and potentially armed are better than prisoners that are disarmed but have beards. They talk about beards like they're inherently unhygienic. They also allow prisoners to access power tools and knives from the kitchen, it's just silly. Why give them the chance to take one? By the time it is clear that one is missing, someone could already be stabbed. Just seems silly when you consider the cost-benefit analysis.
Only because prisoners are now allowed to steal as many razorblades as they want to outside of prison... no one really goes to prison any more, it seems.
I haven't heard of this one. I will however, speculate about what might be happening in a case like this. 👍
”You Done messed up A-Aron”
" No common language!" Perfect description of dealing with ASPD.
I watched the episode of evil lives here with his father telling his story. I felt so bad for him.
Frequent razorblade give-away days 😂 You crack me up every. single. time. I so appreciate your humour!
My 10-year old nephew has shown weird behavior since he was very young. Until he was aged 2, his mother wouldn’t let anyone but herself (and my brother) touch him, which was quite frustrating for family members accustomed to hugging and kissing. After age 2, his mother lost interest in him and clearly preferred to spend time on her cell phone. My brother and her would often have bitter arguments in which my nephew would witness or be part of.
As a toddler, my nephew was nervous and would often vomit. After age 2, he would often target my mother (his grandmother) and try to physically hurt her with punching, kicking or some object.
He took longer than my other nephews and nieces to talk, which happened only after age 2.
Once he started to talk, he’d say weird things, like talking to a teacher that he wanted to tie her up in a tree and shoot arrows into her until she died of bleeding. And he was around age 3 or 4!
He has killed pets before. Once forcibly fitting hamsters into a tube until they died suffocated or squeezed. In another occasion, he tore apart limb after limb of a lizard in front of other cousins, and he felt amused while doing it. He never showed regret or shame.
He also has no control over his emotions. He’ll have tantrums for little or insult others for any reason. He’s also selfish and unable (or unwilling) to share personal objects with others, especially children.
He doesn’t seem to understand or care how his behavior affects people around him. Adults show clear sign of horror, disgust or disapproval for his actions but my nephew doesn’t care at all. Nor is he able to self-reflect. He also blames others when he does something wrong. I don’t recall him ever apologizing for his misbehavior.
He has been universally disliked in all schools he attended. When he was aged 3-4, he was moved from morning classes to afternoon classes because his colleagues couldn’t stand him. After causing much trouble (including peeing on a female colleague’s head and laughing), he was asked to leave the school. He’s also disliked by all his classmates in his current school. They held an informal voting on whether they wanted my nephew around, and they all voted for him to leave the class.
My brother and his wife reacted with frustration or sought to pretend that there was nothing wrong, often blaming others for what my nephew did. They also lied to us about many things regarding my nephew, trying to hide his misbehavior from us (and we learned the truth from other people).
Only recently, with my nephew aged 10, that my brother and his wife sought to do something about it. Although my nephew has seen a therapist since he was aged 3, she saw nothing wrong with him (!!). Any parent would seek another professional, but not my brother and his wife. A psychiatrist diagnosed him with Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, which makes no sense when taking in consideration other aspects of his past behavior.
I’d appreciate if anyone could give any suggestion on what to do, since I’m afraid my nephew will only grow worse.
I have done some research in psychology, research has found that the first acts of a serial killer in the making is harming animals as a child , then it goes to humans as an adult. Your nephew is showing psychopathic tendencies. Lack of empathy,Antisocial behavior,Narcissism,Superficial charm, Impulsivity,
Callous, unemotional traits,Lack of guilt. Impulsivity could be the reasoning for his diagnosis of ADHD. However, I myself have both ADHD and autism and do not show the signs listed above, besides impulsivity. (However ADHD does have a broad spectrum) I highly recommend keeping a close eye on your nephew. His behavior seems quite concerning and it is not normal. It could be caused by the mother not nurturing him properly, and not allowing him to create the bonds of physical touch and learn affection and empathy. But this is only my understanding of your situation. Best of luck to you and your family.
Adoption
Check with where you live but in most states you can report your own child for delinquency to CYS to gain access to behavioral health resources. It’s basically like admitting that the child’s issues are too severe for a normal family dynamic to be able to resolve.
Obviously there good and bad CYS systems so where you live is important. This is not medical or legal advice either.
Poor kid, had no chance with those horrible parents. Especially the horrible mom.
He's likely a psychopath. None of your story sounds normal. An adult may have abused him those 1st 2 years. Very sad.
Sounds like his life turned at age 4 when his parents divorced and his dad couldn't be around and left him with a sitter, it didn't seem like his mom was in his life either, some young kids are so angry they grow up hating the world, they become so mean and mad that everyone who meets them ends up just done with them, which in turn doesn't help the situation, they soon grow to be angry adults that do a lot of damage.
I don't think the divorce had much to do with it,maybe made it easier to see,but that's it. Most kids of divorced parents do not end up like this.the kids may have problems, act out, this is different. He was born this way.
No one is born evil. He showed no signs of behavioural problems until they split. Dad remarried almost immediately but no info was given about how the kid reacted to that or why his dad had full custody. I suspect it was not the split that affected him directly but rather he was abused at some point in some way or neglected, for example no info about his life before the split how his mother treated him or what kind of upbringing he experienced with the stepmom. I had a sibling who was a sociopath and another who was a psychopath. The psychopath was exposed to cocaine in utero and both were molested by an older neighbour kid at ages 2-4 . There is always a reason for mental illness or personality disorder.
@@shirleya-z794To be entirely fair, you can’t really show sociopathic/psychopathic tendencies at 4. He was too young when they split to know the true effect it had.
@@shirleya-z794 It's becoming apparent that there is a neurological basis for some aspects of psychopathy, and that there may be genetically heritable factors. Some people, it seems, are just wired differently. Though not all go on to commit heinous crimes, they have a strong predisposition towards traits associated with psychopathy, particularly factor one type. Environmental factors can exacerbate (or potentially mitigate) the severity of these traits, but they don't require environmental triggers to occur.
He was very handsome as a young lad. I don’t know how kids like this end up this way without serious trauma…Sometimes you can parent very well and they just aren’t right. I’m sad the father had to feel that way about his own son. I have 4 sons with my husband. They’re 31, 20, 16 and 10 years old and I’m never complaining about them again…
Sometimes no matter what a parent does, you have this problem.
Mental Health issues are No joke. If you're poor with NO insurance it's Horrific. It's hard on that person but also every other member of their immediate family . It truly is Heartbreaking all the way around.
Its always trauma. Some trauma is never told, they hide it away.
Trust me.

@@CATNAPREAL1188 I had serious mental health issues. Including ptsd from repeated s3xual trauma. I was poor as dirt but my county mental health department was a literal lifesaver. Most places within the United States have county health departments with sliding scale payments. If you need it, please Google your county + mental health services. 💕
Thank you for clarifying that the babysitters cat survived because anytime a pet is mentioned in a video of this nature, my heart jams in my throat.
The world has way too many cats. It's an ecological disaster. Cat lovers have had their infant attachment instinct hijacked.
@@kennyg1358 Love for an animal is part of being a sentient creature, we feel empathy, love, and understand right from wrong (on a general basic level)… it manifests in our society groups, families AND our bond with pets. Poor husbandry, unethical care and breeding is the problem.. not love for other creatures.
@@stephanieparker1250 Agree with everything you said Stephanie. Be kind to the pets, but get them spayed and neutered.
@stephanieparker1250 Mate, the problem here is that Mr. and Mrs. Faust were related, so Aaron being the way he is makes sense.
@@AlternateMichael wait what? How do you know they are related??
im terrified of the possibility of having a kid one day and the luck of the draw gives me a psychopath
This story was featured on the show " Evil lives here" Aaron's father told the stories how he jad to deal with his son , it's really sad what the dad went through for his kid!
I know a lot (if not most or all) people with ASPD become that way from trauma. That lines up with how his dad described the sudden shift in his behavior. I wonder what happened that made him this way
Birth, apparently.
That’s sociopathy, second degree aspd. Psychopathy, aka first degree aspd, is something that people are born with but traumatic events can potentially worsen it. Sociopathy is developed through traumatic childhood events. So you are partly right, usually we hear more about people with aspd who went through something traumatic. But in this case, I'm predicting that he was simply born that way with first degree aspd
Edit: I've gotten a few replies to this comment and they brought up some good points, psychology is super nuanced and only 100% works in theory. So I apologize for acting like what I said was 100% fact when it is impossible to fully determine that in this field of work
I agree. To hear he was normal as a child and then suddenly at 4, everything changed… something happened. Sometimes the event just doesn’t end up on the parent’s radar. Especially at such a young age, it can really alter someone’s developmental trajectory.
@@stephenieolson8535 A demon. He was possessed.
@@pipermccool Unfortunately, you are incorrect. According to the National Institutes of Health, "Empathy typically emerges as the child comes to a greater awareness of the experience of others, during the second and third years of life, and arises in the context of a social interaction."
Something about this psychopath is strangely respectable. He actually understood his limitations as someone with ANPD, sounded logical, and of course as others have pointed, surprisingly had a special place in his heart for his father. I wonder how he would have felt if someone had killed his father before he died? Would that have inspired feelings from him?
I believe Aaron was going to take a boat trip across the river Styx to Hades, if my Greek mythology is correct.
I can't imagine being abandoned by his mother helped him much. I kind of wonder what she was like towards him the first four years of his life.
1000 %. Yes!
hi Dr. Grande, could you consider doing an analysis of the Jackie Brucia/Debi Stevens case where Debi was fired AFTER giving her boss, Jackie, a kidney to save her life? Thanks!
Interesting how so many serial killers come from a home where the mother abandoned the family. As is they had a premonition that the kid was not right from the start.
So he was a calculating psychopath... But didn't understand consequences and was impulsive.
Some kids are more sensitive to divorce. I wonder if that had anything to do with the behavioral issues that began after the separation. It makes sense that an only child would take his parents' separation even harder than a child who had more close family relationships.
It would be interesting to learn more about this man's childhood and the relationship he had with his mother after the divorce.
I agree. Not justifying what he did. Probably a
Mix of nature/nurture but think when your mother is replaced by a stranger the same year your parents get divorced and you have a brand new mother at that age, that is going to leave some kind of mark...
A lot of kids are relieved when their parents divorce.
Nah. Sensitive kids is not the category he would have ever been put in.
And even the most sensitive and easily traumatised children tend not to be psychos.
@@It-is-me...Melsie I don't mean sensitive in the sense of empathetic. I mean "sensitive" as in, affected by the environment in ways that others would not be.
Wow. I can see precisely why the father thought what he did.
Apart from the devil bollocks, yes, same.
In previous centuries, Aaron would be conscripted into an Army and go on to win or die famously on a battlefield.
He would have a field day in the Israeli army at the moment.
LOL. Absolutely-in the Hamas Army. IDF is being cucked of its warriors, much like the US Army already has.@@julietrudgill9887
Hm, based on this. Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Zodiac Killer, etc. on the battlefield? Love is a battlefield, I like this idea
@@julietrudgill9887 Or in Hamas death squads, you know, those perpetrators?
Amazing that a remorseless psychopath was able to write such a genuinely touching poem to his father.
He may have been evil, but at least he was honest about it.
Excellent analysis, Dr. Grande. My heart goes out to his family who it sounds like tried everything they could. Also, my heart goes out to his victim(s). Thank you, Dr. Grande!
The brain is still massively under explored. Trauma could happen during gestation, birth, infectious diseases. Sadly treatments for mental illness and brain trauma is pretty rudimentary. Perhaps in another two hundred years or so there will be better technology available to really explore and understand the human brain and mind.
That's terrible for the parents. I'm sure they tried everything they could.
I always see and hear how some people don’t feel feelings but anger is a feeling. It’s one everyone feels but leads to violence for only some situations or some people.
It’s odd how psychopaths don’t feel remorse. Is there a physical defect in their brain?
I believe there is,though science is still exploring this.
Animals don't feel remorse so maybe a relapse to an earlier brain type
You don't watch UFC/MMA or boxing, do you? There's also a thing called CTE. And also, why don't you think this way, when you're so angry and all you do is destroy you're not thinking in the moment and just are filled with rage
And plus we're humans so we're just like animals. We are the same way. There's a reason why we have the same on the inside, not sure the exact percentage but we're highly similar to vicious animals.
Not to mention there's roid rage and even road rage. It's honestly not that complicated. It's all very simple and makes sense. Not exactly sure where the confusion lies
@@AlternateMichaelAbsolutely nothing that you said proves anything. Zero. Nada.
@@kennyg1358 your comment caught my attention and made me wonder if that’s a fact, because my one dog seems to shows remorse after she squabbles with our other dog. After it’s over she will go over and nuzzle her like making sure she’s ok and saying she’s sorry🤷♀️
I watched this story a few years ago. As a father myself, the interviews with Aaron’s father brought tears to my eyes. He honestly tried.
On another note, it’s about time some company capitalized on the doc’s natural suave and debonair presence!
you explained that so well, and i'm really glad he sent the card to his father it might make a difference over the years .. thanks as always Doc
As a father to a young man, i feel so bad for his dad. I hope they both found peace on the situation.
This guy's videos are awesome bc the subject matter is often quite mad and the Dr just calmly explains it all.
Kids and young
Adults
Like this DO exist. The medical and mental health systems cannot do much to help- unless and until the individual commits a crime - it’s pathetic. People have no idea what (we) parents go through.
About three and a half minutes in, and the "crime" has not yet been committed. By this point, it was obvious that this is a person who should be locked away from society. How many warning signs does it take before we can act?
well basically at any actual assault yes treatment and decisions such as taking away from society, but before that, of course not. people grow out of stuff, get treated. in America the lack of health care is a real problem. and the love of simplistic prison 'solutions'
People think remorse is tears, crying, feeling emotions of regret. Remorse is in the will. Emotions or tears are not necessary. Remorse...sorrow....regret....is in the WILL. I do hope he had true remorse for all his sins. By the way....my youngest a girl of 25 was just diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder. That diagnosis explains a lot of her actions when younger.
I never knew how much I needed to hear Dr. Grande say, “hint of mandarin.” 😂😂😂
Aarons description of his murder victim seems to describe himself as well.
I'm so ambivalent about this case. Personality disorders are called as such for a reason. They're the person's self, their being, who they really are. You can't fix them with medication and you can't fix them with therapy. Some personality disorders are damaging beyond what is acceptable, thus the high percentage of sociopaths in prisons and mental hospitals. It's hard to know how to feel about these people, who are sometimes beyond redemption (on a human scale) and are sometimes so far gone that they'd be happier victimizing would-be rescuers than accepting any help. This case is especially confusing. This man seemingly had no redeeming qualities, but some of his aggression was particularly aimed at other sociopaths, and that poem to his father was so heartbreaking. Somewhere in there was true love.
Frequent razor blade giveaway days made me el oh el 😂
I had a cousin that turned out to be a psychopath. When he was born, they put him in my 91 year old grandmother's arms, she took one look & handed him back. Said he he was evil, it crushed his mother but she was right. He finally killed himself but not before he created compete havoc everywhere he went.
Dr. Grande, what can a parent do in a situation like Aaron Foust? I can't help but feeling sorry for a person who has no ability to have love for other people. What a miserable sounding life.
Always love your cacti and analysis. Great video as usual.
Happy New Year, Dr and Mrs Grande ❤
Wow! Excellent analysis 💎
Heartbreaking for his parents and what a sad life for Aaron who understood that he was not " normal". Dangerous individual in society, with no way to fix it! Hoping he found what he was looking for....
To paraphrase a quote from Karl Marx, "The psychologists have only interpreted the patient, in various ways; the point is to change him."
every man wants to change the world , no man wants to change himself. (A saying perhaps particularly apt in mr Marx's case)
What changes did Marx want to make?
🤣 You are right, but I think most politicians are convinced that they are already perfect - no change needed!@@noahschmartz2354

Happy and healthy NewYear Dr. Grande ….to you and yours! 🎉
Very informative.
Thank you.
Happy New Year to All.
I learn so much from you
I take notes and make my own research
Today was a little bit heavy but all new to me (cluster b, histrionic personality disorder)
You're an amazing educator/mentor
I can't thank you enough, I'm so grateful

After your tour of your Christmas decorations , my therapist said i will recover and it was only a small overdose of Christmas . Just Kidding .

Don’t tell your kids!!!
Don’t flaunt your money!!!
Thanks for another great video, Dr. Grande!

Happy New Year! I think you're absolutely beautiful and I hope you're okay and staying strong doing what you have to do. You're very loved
@@AlternateMichael Thanks. Happy New Year to you, sir.
Dr. Grande - Just realized that I no longer need to watch Investigations Discovery (ID) because you've got their cases all covered. Thank you, and I sincerely wish you & Amy a very happy & prosperous 2024! 👍💜🌵
Happy New Year to you and Mrs G!!
All the best to you two for 2024!!
I work with people people with brain injury, DD/ID, and people with behavioral health challenges. I had one patient with ASPD. He came to us when he was 21. Not yet diagnosed. We arranged clinical services for him because to be sure we could provide residential services and supports to at least make a plan to help him move through life with as little need for legal intervention as possible. We had to work on support plans for him that emphasized how his behaviors could result in restrictions on his freedoms instead of looking for empathy. He has none what so ever. He still threatens to kill people, is manipulative and completely self centered, likes to steal , and lies in very grandiose ways, but he is in a more controlled, non prison setting than most. It's not a guarantee, though. It was an interesting case to work on, but I often wonder when not if he will wind up in deep legal issues.
The only channel I watch even the ads.... I'd listen to the Doc read the dictionary....🤗🤣👍🤪🙏
Excellent synopsis. Thank you. (From someone who’s experienced close association with ASPD.)
Sadly, it seems that personality disorders don’t always require a large amount of lurid trauma to formulate. Some minds are just not that resilient.
That poem to his father was so sad.
Thanks Dr Grande . Great analysis!
That’s a fascinating case, albeit disturbing.
On another note, I do believe his destination was a much warmer place.
Thank you for the review, Dr. Grande.❤
Feel so sad for the father. Hope he's okay and to the victims family. ❤
Always interesting
Thank you ❤
This was extremely interesting and enlightening. Thank you, Dr. Grande!
I’m shocked to hear he was executed in a year. I don’t think I’ve ever heard that in another case. It’s the way it should be with all death sentence cases.
It’s because of appeals
There are many people on death row who have been exonerated. Sadly some after they were executed. There is too much corruption in the judicial system for quick executions across the board.
@@OlderG0ds which are often or sometimes necessary.
Except the convicted that end up being wrongly convicted and are innocent, right?
There should be no death sentence in a developed country. There is no way back for innocent people. It costs more than keeping a killer in jail. Juries will be more reluctant to convict. Often it is a worse punishment for the killer to rot in jail. It dehumanises the executioners.
In short it is a failure for a country to have the death sentence.
This was really sad. Thanks for another stellar analysis Dr Grande.
One of the best you've covered Dr. G. Very unique.
Great work on this one.
With a name like Faust he’s already made a deal with the devil!
But, the father’s name was Faust and HE may have sold his soul to the devil. I’m not sure how innocent he was.
Seriously? why are we being namephobic
@@degenerate_mercenary9898 Oh wow, that was actually a good break down. But I don't watch breaking down so I wouldn't know that but I definitely have seen the name "Faust" around somewhere, it does actually seem familiar
The mind is unbelievable so many suffer with mental health issues. He was suffering he understood he was different and never felt joy or love.
Excellent Video!
Enjoy your New Year doc!
Damn, even his own father knew he was a demon seed.
Aaron would never have existed if not for two horrible breeders bringing him into this cruel world.
@facthunt2facthunt245 someone said the two were actually related and that's why Aaron is the way he is
why are you blaming his parents
