People must think I’m stupid. Or maybe they think I’m easily manipulated? Not really sure which it is, but Jesus.

While some individuals may have characteristics of both disorders, making such a significant change in diagnosis can be complex and potentially harmful. It’s crucial to consider the individual’s specific symptoms, medical history, and family background.

Here are some factors to consider:

  • Age of onset: BPD typically presents during adolescence or early adulthood, while ASD symptoms may be evident in early childhood.
  • Severity of symptoms: BPD is typically characterized by more severe emotional dysregulation and interpersonal problems compared to ASD.
  • Treatment response: BPD treatment has been shown to be more effective than ASD treatment for improving emotional regulation and reducing impulsive behaviors.
  • Family history: Individuals with a family history of BPD are more likely to be diagnosed with BPD, while ASD is typically diagnosed in individuals with no family history of the disorder.

It’s important to note that changing the diagnosis can have significant implications for access to treatment, support services, and educational opportunities. Consulting with a mental health professional who specializes in both BPD and ASD is crucial for making an informed decision about the diagnosis.

Yeaaaaahhh, gonna go out on a limb here and say that the whole “WHY ARE YOU ABANDONING ME” thing might’ve been dead on. LOL.

Why don’t you just do DBT workbooks instead of ruining the lives of your children, eh?
