Hello, I’m new to the Forum.

I’ve just joined the community and to be honest I don’t have a formal diagnosis of Autism or Aspergers.

I do though have a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder with traits of OCD.

Through my current therapist who had pointed me in this direction because they’re a lot of similarities between BPD and Aspergers and I’m beginning to wonder if I’ve been misdiagnosed?

I live in London, UK and was wondering if anyone knows or has any suggestions on how I might understand more?

I’ve watched a few things on YouTube particularly Tony Attwood, I can I can see a lot of myself in some of the things he talks about.

Any advice or information would be much appreciated.

Thanks

    Thanks for this. I scored 36 out of 50, which suggests I do have Autistic traits. 

    I don’t know much about Autism, so please excuse any ignorance I may show but how do I understand the difference between Aspergers and Autism because if I understand correctly, Aspergers is now part of the Autism spectrum but is there any significant differences, that makes one, more Aspergers than Autistic, if that makes sense?
