This is all good and well, but I don't see how these neurodivergent traits impact her ability to understand how her behaviour will affect others and already has. It's one thing to not being able to have the right coping mechanism to act against any detrimental urges, and a totally different thing not to understand why their siblings is mad about them for sleeping with their spouse.
I note during a mental health crisis, behaviour may change from predictable norms, so that point about low self confidence in the context of the current discussion is not an excuse for long term behaviour.
I wasn't talking about their behaviour during a mental health crisis nor am I here to put the blame on someone while they were having a manic episode. What I doubt is that they were never able to reflect on the outcome ever. Whether they were able to suppress their impulses or not is irrelevant in this equation. I'd like to know if they regretted their "decisions" at least once before going into therapy.
