I suppose. Though I have not heard from her on this and her blogs have been removed so I can't re-read the conversion.

But as you may want to point our to her on the subject, the thing to remember about sociopathy is that it is a pre-existing condition like psychopathy or retardation. It's not just an excuse for persistent jerks and the reason we can't just include it as part of Heroes with Metal Illness is because it isn't a mental disorder, it is a social one. It is a persistent personality trait, reflective of the fact that morality, or lack their of, does not make-or-break a protagonist.
