So, if you were looking to claim “sociopathy” as a positive identity, what would you posit as its antonym? Sociotypicality? But that’s weaksauce, polemically.

I propose “empathorrhea”, by analogy to diarrhea and menorrhea. You’ve got all the “uncleanness” baggage associated there for one, and for two it puts the focus on control, casting sociopathy not as the absence of emotion or empathy, but a volitional empathy rather than an empathic incontinence.
