Its incorrect wording but i shorthanded it to 'embrace the sociopathy'. Very nice little koan to drop on the programmed reaction i've had to natural ASD reactions

'You can't do that it's sociopathic!' No ma it's ASD and i'm tired of pretending i'm not to save your face.

Since the acronym for sociopath is ASPD, I will often respond with something like "nuh uh, mine has one less letter". Pretty niche, but when someone gets it, so good.

most of the people claiming it's sociopathic tend to be pretty controlling in my experience, which is ironic
