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?
