I dated a female sociopath for two years. The delusions of grandeur are far superior to any Stephen King novel. No one can devise the fantasy world of a sociopath. You can read about Kim on our site.

Hey; I have been doing some research on the disorder for a school paper.
ASD is related to adhd and it effects the same area of the brains, frontal lobes and precortex region. It is explains their reckless behavior, limitless energy/drive and their impulse problems. Often if adhd is untreated, the person is subjected to a broken home or treated different for his disorder will become a conduct disorder as a teen and then will sadly they will become a sociopath. My estimate of a cure would be adhd medication which would help them conrol their impulses and perhaps be more self-ware of themselves.
However I highly doubt it would be effective unless more powerful medication existed because once a sociopath reaches his full capabilities he will have no incentive whatsoever to give it up. In a sense sociopaths are the idealized form of what we all want to be, charismatic, funny, popular and powerful.
I think the only hope is to prevent a child with the early signs of antisocial behavior by being understanding of the uniqueness and most importantly instilling in him a sense of moral values and belonging.

When I read this article, I immediately thought of someone I know. She has an air of grandiose (in her mind only I might add) and is a pathological liar. She only makes friends with people she can control, if she comes across anyone with an ounce of gumption she’s out of her depth and will tell lies about that person, especially if there’s some kind of friction between them. Almost like “Hyathinth Bucket” but without the finesse.

Thanks again for the link to that essay. I get more email about it than almost anything else on my site!
