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

    BPD has been mentioned by a few posters...

    community.autism.org.uk/.../"borderline personality"

    Mostly, people have had the BPD label misapplied before someone figured out that ASD was the real underlying problem. Psychiatry seems to be a very inexact art/science and labels seem to be able to be applied and removed on a regular basis. Presumably you will need to get a psychiatrist to formally state that you do NOT have BPD. It may be worth consulting with Mind or another mental health body about how to go about that.
