Psychiatrics changed the name due to the stigma of the disorder arising from the fictionalization in media.

Juliet Critchlow Mr. Seymour AP Lit 9 May 2014 Research Paper: The Stranger While modern disorders cover a large variety of ailments, quite a few can apply to Meursault from Albert Camus? The Stranger. Key aspects of Meursault?s personality ? that would be a concern to society ? include that he is indifferent, amoral, and has difficulty giving and receiving empathy. In addition, Meursault has a particularly calm demeanor and enjoys his physical relationship with Marie. With these traits in mind, similarities and differences between Meursault and the symptoms of antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), major depressive disorder (MDD), and Asperger disorder, also known as Asperger syndrome can be analyzed.
