What If Your “BPD” Is Actually Autism?

Описание: What If Your “BPD” Is Actually Autism?

BPD vs. Autism: The HUGE Difference You NEED to Know! 🎭

🚨 Have you been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) but something doesn’t feel right? Have you struggled with emotional dysregulation, social confusion, or feeling like the world is just “too much”?
BPD and Autism are often confused—especially in adults, particularly women. Many autistic individuals are first misdiagnosed with BPD and sent to DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) because of emotional dysregulation. But if Autism is the real diagnosis, the wrong treatment can make things worse.

In this video, I’ll break down:
✅ The #1 clue that separates BPD from Autism
✅ Why emotional dysregulation happens in both—but for different reasons
✅ How misdiagnosis happens and why it’s so common
✅ Can you have BOTH BPD & Autism? What that looks like!
✅ The best therapy & treatment options for each
