No. But they are on the SAME spectrum. Narcissism at the "lower" end and ASPD on the "higher" end.
All ASPDs are Narcissists
Not all Narcissists are ASPDs... yet
this is why they share many traits. What distinguishes them is the severity of those traits.

Having three = sociopath.

Is illustrated the same as narcissism?
No, it is not the same. Illustrated means shown in picture form. - Narcissism is a personality disorder characterized by self-preoccupation and admiration of your own body.
What is the antonym of solipsism?
selflessnessSelflessness is an excellent antonym for narcissism (as an adjective), as well as empathy, while a good antonym for a Narcissist (the noun and disorder itself) would be Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). People with OCD have extremely sensitive and tender consciences and are thus known to be neurological opposites of Psychopaths and Narcissists. People with OCD are very guilt-prone and overly conscientious. (Note that Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is not the same thing as Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD). So, when discussing narcissism as a character trait, the antonym "selflessness" is right on; but if referring to it as the disorder, Narcissism, then the opposite of Narcissism would be OCD.
Is antisocial personality disorder the same as agoraphobia?
No, not at all. People mistakenly assume that "antisocial" means "shy". That's wrong.Antisocial means "against society" - in other words, an antisocial person is someone who doesn't care about people, or hurts them. Many antisocial people are criminals (though not all of them always are). Antisocials are people who have no conscience. It's a personality disorder.Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder - verydifferent.

How is a socipath different from an antisocial person?
A sociopath has little to no regard for rules or effect of their actions on others. An anti social person is someone who doesn't want to interact with people or go out, but the disease (Antisocial Personality Disorder) is the same thing as a sociopath. A person can exhibit antisocial behavior, delinquency as a juvenile, early sexual activity, criminal behavior and not have Antisocial Personality Disorder. In many cases, the person is 'acting out' or are simply emulating the behavior of those they associate with. The diagnosis of Antisocial Personality Disorder applies only to individuals who have both the behavioral issues listed above (and others) as well as certain personality features such as arrogance, extreme sense of entitlement, lack of guilt, empathy, or remorse, a cocky or excessively self-assured attitude, and an inability to tolerate boredom.

Are adoptive children of a narcissistic parent better off if they have been returned to the system?
There is some ambiguity in the situation you describe; lots of people have an element of narcissism in their personality, which is not the same thing as a narcissistic personality disorder. Someone with a narcissistic personality disorder should never raise children, because the children will inevitably be harmed, quite seriously. Even an impersonal and relatively uncaring institution is better than such a parent.
What is the difference between a borderline personality disorder and a personality disorder?
In sharp contrast to Anti-Social Personality Disorder (sociopathy) is another personality disorder, termed Borderline Personality Disorder, in which the problem is the opposite of the problem of the sociopath: the sympathetic nervous system of person with BPD responds too easily, too strongly, and way too often!Meanwhile, in the true sociopath/psychopath, the fight-or-flight reaction is very brief, extremely difficult to sustain even in an emergency, and does not touch certain organs as it ought to do; sociopaths are chronically "bored" because they are literally half-asleep most of the time. (Even though they tend to look awake and behave in an alert, intense manner.)Additionally, although individuals with Borderline Personality tend to use manipulation in various forms such as malingering, these are usually intended to gain the concern or sympathy of perceived caregivers. In persons with Antisocial Personality Disorder, deceit and manipulation are used to gain material gratification such as money, gifts, etc. Also, personality features specific to APD, such as an extreme sense of entitlement, egocentricity, narcissism, and exaggerated self-assurance are typically absent in persons with BPD.
