how do they differentiate symptoms during a neuropsych assessment? like how is bpd empty, awkward, anxious avoidance of eye contact different from the same traits someone with autism would have? 

if there’s one thing i’m good at it’s reading a room (for the most part), i don’t have any hyper fixations or sensory issues, i come out of my shell when comfortable, etc. 

but i’m awkward and my self esteem is basically non existent. i feel my emotions so strongly that i’m numb to them at this point, so i come off as very monotone and disinterested when it’s not actually the case 

so how would those traits get me diagnosed with autism or social anxiety/bpd, etc? like is there just a chance of misdiagnosis and thats the reality? 

is the description of having a favorite person/paranoid ideation enough to feel like i have bpd? i’m waiting to get my results back and im just trying to figure it out ahead of time i guess
