Used to be BPD and now it's AS. If they can't pinpoint what's going on, it has to be AS. Like in the past, it had to be BPD.
I don't get a rat's behind for their gut feelings. My records are full of gut feelings. Gut feeling that I'm BPD (because back then it was said you as a treating person was always given this odd, spooky feeling around people with BPD!), gut feeling that I hid my schizophrenia (They asked me a lot if I had voices which I didn't), feeling that I DIDN'T have Asperger's.... and so on.
I had a real test, both for AS and ADD. Of course it wasn't only tests but also interviews but they were structured and not based on someone's emotions. Which I'm thankful about, since people love to read me wrong.
So, if I hadn't have any AS traits, it would clearly showed up on the test.
I wish all diagnoses were made in a similar manner. Instead you can get a diagnosis from talking to a doc for five minutes, and that is simply so wrong!
