Cloud Thought 17~Asd or BPD or BPD?
I have been thinking a lot about the overlap between the following conditions~
Bipolar Disoder ( previously known as Manic Depression) Borderline Personality Disorder and Autism, (ASD)particularly in females.
There are a number of fascinating, thought provoking articles and blogs on this subject and I have been trying to learn all I can about the overlap between these conditions and the possible misdiagnosis that sometimes takes place.
On aspertypical.com there was a great blog post that raised this very issue and later a follow up blog was written that really made me think.
It discussed the challenges associated with supporting people and raised this essential point:
'they are asking people to discuss their thoughts and feelings who have difficulty trusting and relating to others and understanding these feelings in the first place. Relentless and unconditional perseverance, reliability, and reassurance are the key.'
This strikes me as the way forward.
If you are aiming to support anyone in need of your help, offering them relentless and unconditional perseverance, reliability and reassurance is the greatest gift that you can give to them.
