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

  • Hi,

    Sorry to join this discussion so late. I've just found it. I agree with everybody.  Also,If you google BPD and go to NHS CHOICES AND MIND, they now diagnose under DSMV4 and you have to tick 5 boxes to qualify. It is also charecterised by intense, personal relationships with severe abandonment panic within these realtionships i.e constantly phoning and texting and crying, begging and hugging  them not to leave you as they go out the door. Living with aspergers for some people,especially females is very stressful and emotional, so is easily confused for BPD-Some people with aspergers do develop BPD as a way of coping with the severity of aspergers, but trust your gut instinct.
