> manic episodes and autistic hyper fixation.

I generally try very very very hard to resist armchair-diagnosing people, but it was also very hard for me not to get that impression as well. She seems hyper fixated on people's reactions to her, without examining -- or even telling us -- why people are uncomfortable working with her.

I had to look elsewhere to learn that she's espoused techno-fascist views in the past. She should have been honest about that up-front in her article, and, assuming she no longer holds those views, say so, and explain what happened to change her mind. If she does still hold those views, then... well, I can see why people continue to not want to be associated with her.
