Asking because not only did I suspect my (now former) boss to be like that, there was also a massive meltdown in a specific content creation space where an otherwise extremely kind CC was exposed as… being a bit special. So I thought I should try to get better at spotting ppl like that in order to not burn myself

Edit: Thanks everyone. I guess I didn’t word it correctly but my goal wasn’t to “diagnose” someone. I’m Autistic & am working in a field that allegedly attracts lots of hyper-competitive/toxic ppl, so I want to protect myself. That’s why. I already saw tons of useful comments so

    That doesn’t sound at all like what they’re doing. You’re saying what you would be doing most likely.

    They are asking how to quickly identify a medical diagnosis that can’t be quickly identified, especially by lay people, so they can act on it. It can’t be done and it’s unethical. They are not a bad person for asking, but carrying it out would be wrong.

      I mean, only OP can clarify what they actually meant. I was just sharing my interpretation, which I will say leans heavily on the final “in order to not burn myself” line.

        Then why are you trying to clarify for them, especially in such a way that is so far from what they wrote? I am taking them at face value. There isn’t a whole lot to infer here. They are trying to diagnose their boss. It’s irresponsible to support this. This isn’t two buddies sitting at a bar speculating about someone they know.
