Are you looking for academic papers or other more approachable literature?

Not every clinician considers BPD a developmental disorder. I have only seen this in academic papers, where it is used to refer to the development of BPD.
I have heard professionals use developmental disorder to refer to emotional development. Perhaps, adding the word
psychosocial to it would be more useful.
There is a average age range at which people meet emotional milestones. Like AS, people with BPD seem to meet these milestones later. Of course the two disorders have very different causes, but superficially they are similar in this way.
