Personality disorder vs Asperger's

Sarah2

I was recently assessed and told I have high functioning autism, not allowed to diagnose it Asperger's anymore i was told, however, i was wondering could hfa be confused with having a personality disorder? And could a person have both of these? I have taken online tests and always scored as a high candidate for personality disorder, does anyone have any insights on this?

    My experience has been that the majority of neuro-typical people are taken-in by an expensive suit, and by what it says on the tin. Once recognised professionals brand someone and stick labels on them these labels stick like superglue, both in the mind of the one labelled as well as the audience in the public gallery. Whether this is a good thing or not is another matter which depends on a host of factors.
