Oh I hope I didn't imply anyone without empathy is a psychopath. Of course not!! But Id imagine it would still be something people would like "fixed." I would of it were me. Actually--let me find the article--but I read about someone with Aspergers (and I am in NO way equivocating that with psychopathy) having emotions turned on.

And I agree. Identifying these traits early, and providing appropriate treatment, is absolutely key. However, I don't think we currently understand enough to intervene for each child. The article I referenced earlier from the NYT (can you call a 9 year old a psychopath) goes into this with several experts. So, so fascinating. I can't imagine being a parent to a child like that.
And thank you for all the work you do with kids. It takes a village.
