Comment on I love bpd girls
ContriteErudite@lemmy.world 19 hours agoI think this as well, though I have no formal training in psychology. My perspective comes from a lifelong interest in learning across fields and from having several family members who struggled with mental health, often dismissed as hysterical, crazy, over-emotional, or immature. Decades later, many of them received diagnoses of comorbid autism and CPTSD. I believe that within the next 5–10 years, assuming the DSM can be inured against political editorialization, autism diagnoses will be further refined and the spectrum will become more granular and specific.

Autism+sufficiently complicated ptsd in the context of our society can look very verrrrry much like the diagnostic criteria for bpd.
