Sociopathy (or in DSM-IV-speak, AntiSocial Disorder) is a character disorder and as such, cannot be cured at the level of technology that exists today. The person served with this disorder then will need palliative therapy in order to learn how to cope with various situations that non-ASD persons find answers to empathetically. Menninger studies of Sociopathy and Paranoid Schizophrenia draw a parallel between coping with these major disorders well, and the amount of ready cash the person served has at hand. This may be interpreted to say that, with a lot of ready help, the ASD person can live a relatively normal, pleasing life. On the other hand, ASD patients do not fare well when poverty is the economic state. In short, it's a serious affliction. The effect is moderated by their financial condition.
