Signs of ASD usually show up in early childhood. A trauma during those years can definitely affect it or even resemble the condition in neurotypical children. The only way to know for sure is to get an assessment done.
A lot of ladies with ASD are often misdiagnosed with bipolar and/or BPD before they find out what is really wrong with them. This is especially true if they have a history of suicidal ideation and self-injury. ASD symptoms can resemble personality disorder but the reasons behind the behaviors are different.
If you have ASD it will affect treatment so it is very important to get assessed for it.
