So, I've been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and Schizophrenia (still in predomal stage though), but have almost all of the traits of an ASD. My older brother has severe ASD and is violent/severe, which may have caused it to be overlooked. Abused and stressful childhood with family history of mental illness. Was hospitalized for 2 years bc of self harming behaviors (oding and anorexia too), but am wondering what my actual diagnosis could be since it was like a random guessing game there. There's a lot more symptoms, but what do you guys think? (misdiagnosis since I wasn't very open back then?)
Schizo and ASD symptoms
