An alphabet of conditions?

TheCatWoman

I get very confused by all the abreviations used for the various things we have and my brain makes some rather strange interpretations of what these could mean, like EUPD, European Union Police Dept, its never anything even vaguely medical. Are we at risk of being overrun with alphabets describing us, do they become meaningless after a while?

    Borderline personality disorder (BPD), also known as emotionally unstable personality disorder (EUPD).

    Whatever people prefer to name it - it is a tough gig and one about which our community needs to learn more.

    The good news is: several of our newer members have kindly shared with us that this is one of their co-occurrence aspects of their lived experience - so, over time, we will all have the opportunity to learn how to best support those within our Autistic community who know, firsthand: what effort it takes to adjust their lives when they are in receipt of an EUPD diagnosis too.
