I am a 15 year old girl and have been in therapy for depression, generalized anxiety, and borderline personality disorder since I was 9. I have also been on and off Prozac since then. Recently, my parents and I wanted a second opinion about increasing the dosage of my medication, so we went to a different psychiatrist than usual. This psychiatrist suggested that I might have been misdiagnosed and have mild Asperger's instead of BPD. I've been looking it up, and a lot of the symptoms do apply to me, but in at least a few of the differences I've found between BPD and Asperger's, I've applied more to the BPD stuff than the Asperger's stuff. For example, I would consider myself manipulative, like is common of BPD (lying a lot, sometimes even faking tears ect.) but also have an extremely strong sense of morals and can't understand why other people wouldn't follow the same morals, as is found with Aspergers. So I guess my question is, does anyone have experience with both or with a person who has had both disorders and have advice/know how to deal with it? It's just that the idea of being on the spectrum is very new and alien to me, and I don't really know what to do about it.
