Autism and BPD

Thank you. I’ve herd that it’s commonly miss diagnosed within the female population with autism. But If I was to be honest I feel I have so many symptoms of BPD that show up in my daily life such as  excessive anger outburst for stupid things. I’ve also been told I’m good at Starting rumors. 

I was diagnosed with bpd 12 years ago and autism 4 years ago.

So I was in group therapy for a month or so and when they finally discharged me they said I had BPD and autism. Is this true. It’s been a thing on my mind for a while ever since I got that diagnosis. I’d love to get some feedback. 

Well here is a link describing Borderline Personality Disorder in some detail:

And having BPD as a co-morbid Personality Disorder can be the case (or true) for some people with autism, such as I have Schizoaffective Personality Disorder as being comorbid with my autism.

I have a couple of female friends who are both autistic and have also been diagnosed as having BPD, and there have been a number of community members also discussing having BPD that I can recall in my four years as a community member, and here is a link to 114 threads on this forum covering them including yours here:
