Can a diagnosis hold you back? (lemmy.world)

If an employer wanted to do a background check what would be the limits? Like would they have access to your medical history? and if so as someone with ASPD this would be a huge problem.

I work in entertainment so it wouldn't really affect anything but still. Being a literal sociopath isn't a good look. That's why I haven't told anyone irl. It wouldn't look good to an employer. Could it hold me back? And if so is there anyway I can withhold such information?

Depends on your country and the law. In the EU AFAIK this would be classified as medical and illegal to query without your consent. And I've never heard of anyone who isn't a doctor getting such a request.

Doctors usually get a 'required to be vaccinated' thingy, but else? Never heard of it.
