ASD & personality disorder

ajl338

Does anyone else here have a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder?

I got this before i got my ASD label at the age of 36. But i think the BPD is all wrong. I had a massive meltdown in the MH unit and got labelled as BPD which means to the MH world that i am a pain in the backside and hard to handle which i'm not, i just cant cope if they take away all my coping stratergies and routines.

I'm interested in getting the BPD taken off my notes becuase its all the medics see and they dont respect the aspergers part of me

  • If you're an AS person, you're going to be missunderstood, missinterpreted and misdaignosed. Being told that you have a disordered personality is not only wrong, it's insulting and discriminatory. Many of us have expressed a history of false diagnosis, and as has been said elsewhere, once the 'psychs' have got an opinion, no matter how rubbish it is, they'll hang on to it because they haven't usually got the strength of character to admit they are wrong. In my experience, and that of others.

    Emily, 'sometimes' doesn't come into it. The only people who understand the complexity of AS is us, and that's why we must continue to talk amongst ourselves and advocate on behalf of the undiagnosed, especially our children. The so-called 'mental' problems that we face are a direct result of our struggles to exist in an NT world. If you watch NTs, they are totally unsane. For instance, they spend billions of pounds on nuclear weapons that will never be used, while children die daily through lack of clean water, decent food or cheap medicines.

    I just want to say that i completely agree with everything you said about having a 'disordered personality'. Thank you so much for this. Nobody has a disordered personality.
