This is kind of a weird question, but do you know if People with BPD get jealous of people with autism? Like are they resentful? I have autism and on Monday I was talking about my sensory issues and my weighted blanket, and people were acting kind of werid. I know a couple people with BPD and they sometimes seem like a little resentful. Like posting stuff on Facebook about autism or posting videos of kids with autism singing. I know this is weird, but if I had BPD and someone was talking about autism, I would get jealous. Like I don't mind my autism, but I don't know if people like desire to have it instead of a serious mental illness. I always desired braces when I was a kid, and now I have braces because my teeth are so bad now. But it's different with wanting a disorder. But am I making sense? Does anyone know what I mean?

Maybe they were jealous of your neat weighted blanket. How do you know those kids have BPD?

I was in treatment centers with them when I was a teenager. We discussed things openly with each other. I'm just Facebook friends now with them. Sorry if I was being conceited. I'm just genuinely curious.

Maybe this is another type of thing but, depending on where you live, sometimes you get better care with autism. When I was thought to have BPD, nurses and doctors treated me like crap, with such callousness like if I was evil. When I was rediagnosed Aspergers they were suddenly nice to me like poo' little thing can't help it.

I know what you mean. In 2010 a treatment center didn't take the time to actually talk to me and instead cookie cutted me into other females who were there and labeled me BPD. They treated me like a liar and they were very emotionally and verbally abusive. When I left people said I had PMDD and not BPD and that I was autistic. I got confirmation about it on Monday. People are very nice and understanding about my autism. Even if they do sometimes talk to me like I'm mentally challenged or don't think I understand. I would rather have that then the way that place treated me.

I am dealing with the acceptance that I probably have BPD.

In response to your question, I am really not jealous of anybody.

I have not been in 'the system' of healthcare as BPD to be treated badly by professionals because of having it. I pity the fool that tries that BS with me! I am finding this information incredibly disturbing and am worrying that I'll have to make a federal case out of it, if this harsh treatment happens to me.

Some people may feel envious, because their providers may be ignoring them due to their BPD diagnosis. I remember feeling frustrated and envious at times, because no one took me seriously, when I had the BPD label. I didn't long for any particular diagnosis, just one that described my experience.

After I was diagnosed with ASD, my care changed dramatically. I find this revolting for a profession that is supposed to help people.
