Autism And Borderline Personality Disorder

James19932024

Hi,

i was diagnosed with Autism in November 2023, but during the early to mid summer of that year, 2 life changing events happened to me, i started to "go to" a really dark place and my mental health declined sharply. i did lots of research and it "turns out", that i might have Borderline Peronality Disorder. i even printed of the "symptoms / signs" of BPD (1 for me and 1 each for my parents). we "scored" our individually in a different room ad we all think hat i might have BPD (to get diagnosed with BPD you need to meet 5 out of the 9 criteria and with me and my parents scores, i meet 6 or 7 out of 9. i then made an appoitment with my GP and she said "oh, dont worry, its just your autism" me and my family know that i have it, but how do i get to be "tested" for BPD? mor eimportantly, can you "have Autism and BPD as comorbid?

  • Whilst you can have both, it would appear that many people especially women and girls are more likely to be diagnosed wrongly with BPD instead of ASC. If you and your family have had life changing events happen in the last couple of years, could it be that you're al still dealing with them and not that you all have BPD? Does BPD run in families?
