ASC & BPD Meltdowns

LJ51125

Sorry I don’t mean to come across as inconsiderate, not sure which term everyone prefers so I apologise in advance.

I understand that both Autism and BPD can lead to meltdowns but usually relate to different causes or symptoms. I am also aware that there is a lot of crossover in symptoms.

Does anyone know if it is possible to experience both at the same time please? If so, can one amplify the experience of the other?

I was diagnosed with Autism but Borderline Personality is currently being investigated. I’m not entirely sure but feel like I may be experiencing emotional burnout of some kind.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    I would think that ASD and BPD would be considered in this context as stressers building to the single end result of the meltdown.

    A bit like eating food and drinking - combined they will fill you up and overdoing it will result in it coming back to visit but there are not 2 separate regurgitation events.

    Apologies for the unpleasant analogy but it seemed the simplest one to get the point across.
