I usually avoid the subject because it's triggering and enraging but I just took a BPD quiz to compare the symptoms with #ActuallyAutistic/ND experiences and it's horrifyingly similar. No wonder there are so many neurodivergents misdiagnosed with this offensive label 😔
BPD "intense emotions".
Actually: Hyperempathy and the pain of daily allistic microaggressions. Very reasonable.
BPD "unreasonable anger".
Actually: Meltdowns from sensory or information overload, pain of being gaslit, insulted or misunderstood constantly. Very reasonable.

BPD "chronic boredom and emptiness".
Actually: ADHD. A constant need for stimulation and feeling like there's nothing new anymore, because once you've lived long enough, it's true!
BPD "lack of attachment".
Actually: An alternative attachment style or asociality.

BPD "fluctuating self image".
Actually: Constantly trying to perform allistic selfhood and failing. You're trying to see yourself as allistic but it's not working, because you're not. Spiky profile means unmet NT "potentials". It's just your real disabled self bleeding through.

Basically, every single aspect of my Autistic existence is a disease caused by interpersonal trauma, according to the psychiatric system.

The quiz told me I might have BPD. Lol.
I'd like to put allistic psychiatry through my own little Autmisia test, then when 100% of them fail it, I'll overmedicate them for suffering from "neuronormative personality disorder".
🤪 NeuPD is an EPIDEMIC.

The older I get the more furious I feel towards psychiatry. The field was built on bigotry & pathology. It's so dangerous for neurodivergents.
But if I expressed this anger to a therapist, they'd probably pathologize that.
Anger is a personality disorder 🙄

A while ago I saw a lovely, sweary Autistic account on here and it was quite inspirational, so I think I'll reclaim my own "excessive" anger too.
🖕 My anger is not a personality disorder.
🖕 My feelings are not unreasonable.
🖕 My body/face isn't lying.
🖕 I am Autistic.
