I was diagnosed with a neurobiological disorder that’s related to autism, but I don’t have enough traits to be on the spectrum. I also have a BPD diagnosis.


I was put in the “autism department” at the treatment facility where I go for counseling.


Most of my issues stem from my unhealthy obsession in relationships, my huge fear of abandonment. I don’t think my therapist understands this at all. She keeps telling me about being “overstimulated,” learning to cope with “unexpected” things in relationships, etc. She basically views this through the lens of an autism expert.


I have told my therapist several times now that I’d like to talk to someone from the personality disorder department and she keeps insisting that it doesn’t matter which department I’m in, or what diagnosis I have.


She gave me “psychotherapy” (learning about ur disability I guess) on autism, and not on BPD for some reason. She wants me to take a “social skills” course which I’m sure couldn’t hurt, but it just isn’t what I need, because I KNOW how to behave properly, my emotions just get the better of me.



Is she correct? Does it make a difference having a therapist specialized in PDs? I feel like a whiner bringing this up all the time and it’s been a year...
