People will obviously have some similar symptoms but also they will have different symptoms from others. How the symptoms are expressed will be different for each individual as well.
Thanks for your opinions

Every mental health diagnosis is on spectrum and I don't believe anyone was saying yours was exactly the same as theirs. I think it is important to understand that for the health of the client and clinician, it is important to set boundaries.
Every mental health practitioner learns this early on in their career. If there is a blurring of boundaries it can effect the client/practitioner relationship. The boundaries set can sometimes be tough for clients to handle but it is still important for practitioners to set them.
For example, I know it is common practice for therapists/psychiatrist offices to request that clients give them 72 hours to respond. I set the 24 hour guidance due to COVID. It tends to be easier to get back to clients when I am not constantly going out in the community to assist people. The days I interact with clients are usually the days I am unable to get back to clients right away.
Boundaries are important in all relationships and especially in a therapeutic one.
