[SIZE="a"]That sounds really frustrating. Not sure if it helps at all but it's often quoted from research that autistic women are normally misdiagnosed with BPD first (symptoms can seem similar). I also think that mental health and neurodiversity are seen as two separate 'silos'...so mental health professionals may not have much awareness, knowledge or understanding of neurodiversity. It's very easy to then 'see' everything from a mental health lens which might explain why your main therapist doesn't see autism and says BPD would be closer.[/size]
