Well keep in mind that technically Batman is a pro-social sociopath.

1. Failure to conform to social norms

Batman considers himself above society for the most part, and his life is anything but normal. He's also extremely socially awkward.

2. Deception

Self-explanatory, really. Half his life is a huge secret.

3. Impulsivity

Batman rarely makes plans. How many times in comics, shows and movies has Batman just up and been like, "I'm going after them/him/her/it" while his butler is like, "Uh Bruce-"

4. Irritability/Aggressiveness

Ever notice how Batman doesn't use guns, lasers, etc? That's because Batman frankly seems to really enjoy just punching people to death.

5. Reckless Disregard for Safety of Self/Others

Just imagine how much it has cost Gotham City, for every time Batman went flying down the street in his Batmobile at 130 miles per hour.

6. Consistent Irresponsibility

Without caring what or who he might run over in the process.

7. Lack of Remorse

Batman sees himself as always right. The cops suck at their job, so they can clean up the mess.

8. At least 18 years old

Yep

9. Evidence of Conduct Disorder Before Age 15

Well Batman's parents were murdered when he was a little kid, and that's when he snapped. So.. Yep

10. Conduct Disorder Not Caused By Mental Illness

Check

So, you see just because you are different, doesn't mean you're automatically bad. You can still make choices to try to do the right things and be pro-social. Something to always bear in mind. You are still in control of your destiny.
