No, that makes sense! I'm really scared to ask my therapist about this stuff because I don't want to look stupid if I turn out not to have it. I will ask though, because it's alarming how many symptoms/criteria I relate to for both.
For BPD, I've looked a lot into that, too. Again, I'm scared to ask because 1, I don't want to look stupid, 2, I'm probably too young to be diagnosed with it anyways, 3, I don't fit 100% of the criteria, but more like 70-80%, and 4, BPD is really stigmatized. Plus, the only time I asked I was directed towards my doctor (I was in the hospital at the time, and also I had a really hard time opening up with that doctor. Not by fault of his own.) I have actually looked into ADHD tho and I kinda fit that too, but I do think I moreso fit BPD than other. I could be wrong, though, Idk
For Autism, I already kinda said why I'm hesitant to ask. It's like, one of those things you see OTHER people ask about for you, and I really don't know how to bring it up without seeming like an attention-seeker or a faker. Plus, I don't really know if she has much experience with autism, but she does seem nice and understanding., so it might be worth a shot.
I dunno if I should ask about both. I said this before, but it feels like I have to choose one or the other. I honestly wish there was a label that could just....summarize everything I am going through, but that's unlikely. I know labels aren't nescessary when seeking treatment, it just makes me feel more valid and less alone so i dunno
