I’ve been curious about this for a while after a talk with my therapist. I wasn’t sure if it was common for people with BPD to also have Autism. My therapist brought up the fact that there are overlapping symptoms after she had wanted me to get tested for Autism. I’ve struggled for a long time with sensory issues and social cues. I walkways thought it was because of trauma, especially with the aversion to sudden loud noises. But again, my therapist was questioning it and really wanted to get me tested. Unfortunately, I’ll never know the answer to my question, as my narcissistic mother refused to get me tested even after years of taunting me and saying that I’m “too autistic to make real friends”. So yeah, I’m wondering what the community has to say. Maybe it will help me when I return to therapy so I have some better questions to ask my therapist.
