EUPD or autism traits

Lilip

I have a history of anxiety, depression and CPTSD. In October 2025 I was diagnosed with traits of EUPD. However in December 2025 I was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. I believe that the traits that were observed are actually due to autism not EUPD. I was referred to our local complex needs service due to the EUPD traits diagnosis and they are insisting on assessing me despite the fact that they now know I have autism. I feel in a no-win position as if I refuse to be assessed I am unlikely to get any other support from the local adult mental health team. Does anyone else have experience of this or no where I can get support? I feel like I am going to sit on a waiting list for a service which is inappropriate to my needs and not actually get any treatment for what I need.

  • similar with me diagnosed with autism and eupd traits which ive always told the cmht i disagree with.  they say its not a full diagnosis but traits but they still wont remove it from my records.  it winds me up because its like noone hears what im saying. cmht's have a obsession with eupd and have for a long time,  generally if you are female you will get this diagnosis, i know some males do too but percentage of females who get this diagnosis is crazy.  complex needs i find the same,i found  if you are distressed is any way then yeh you got eupd and dbt or cbt will cure all .
