I was diagnosed as autistic three weeks ago, but also have borderline personality disorder. It would be really helpful to hear if there's anyone with a similar diagnosis and what you found helpful, as I feel I don't really fit neatly into either community. Really pleased to have this new understanding and pleased to be here! Thank you.
Thanks aidie
