I touched upon the whole idea of her being a "sociopath" before though:
 * "Sociopath" isn't a formal term, ASPD is. Classical sociopathy's SPD.
 * She cannot be ASPD because of her age - it's CD at that age.
 * It is a case of 1+1=10 to me. I don't sense the evidence.
 * All disorders have a psychological cause. Any evidence that Piper is not just possessive are probably caused by early POV issues and parenting.
 * It's basically like saying that your parents didn't go shopping earlier in the week because the pantry is low on food.
 * If you scroll around my previous points, there actually is not enough reason to back up Piper being a "sociopath" from those who said so.
 * At that point, you realise that people are just appropriating the term for their own needs and want a fancy four-syllable label for Piper.
