Browsing: My Child Is a Sociopath

Do I have a child sociopath? For a parent, noticing a pattern that a child is a sociopath can be heartbreaking and utterly terrifying. Officially, there’s no such thing as a child sociopath because a child or adolescent can’t be diagnosed as a sociopath. He or she is too young and his personality hasn’t matured sufficiently to be diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder, an adult personality disorder more commonly known as sociopathy. So while there are no sociopathic children, there can be sociopathic behavior in children.
