Emotional collapse in disagreements is proportional to a history of not being heard rather than unstable personality structure. #TraumaNotPD #AutismNotPD #ADHDNotPD

This important article is a fab addition to our #AutismNotPD movement over the past 8 years or so. There is a lot more about why this misdiagnosis from tweets over this time on Twitter, linking to other articles and testimony. It is a huge problem that I/we see the effects of in coroners courts 💔💪

New: “I was diagnosed as autistic in my mid-forties. This understanding has brought clarity to my life but also deep grief—it came too late to prevent years of harm. The mental health system mistook my needs for a personality flaw.” Fab article on #AutismNotPD calling for action tinyurl.com/33frdyab

"The diagnosis of EUPD is often given to women who are deemed to be hormonal, or hysterical, or considered to be constantly up and down or attention seeking. If that were the case Morgan and Dominic hardly ever had an argument ... they went through all that and ostensibly had a really loving kind relationship with no drama or trauma. They wouldn't have been able to do that if Morgan had an inherently unstable personality disorder"
RIP Morgan Betchley, a 19-year old lovely young woman and an amazing mum. As ever when #ActuallyAutistic, there is scant regard or formal assessment. Thanks as ever to the amazing @georgejulian.bsky.social for the coverage tinyurl.com/44x43z2s and INQUEST. #AutismNotPD Fourth such inquest this year.

It’s not okay to guilt young people who’ve realized they’re #actuallyautistic (after being told they had BPD) into feeling morally obligated to uphold the BPD construct in public space for others. Both the ICD + DSM acknowledge that BPD is so heterogeneous it lacks scientific validity.

Royal College of Psychiatrists:
“Autistic people are sometimes misdiagnosed with #personality disorder. This is because the two diagnoses share some similarities. Healthcare professionals should consider this when making a diagnosis of #autism or PD”

Obviously, the diagnosis of borderline personality disorder is hugely controversial, and the RCPsych are skirting around this. As I can’t refer back to my last 17,826 tweets on the topic, though, thought I’d wait until I have more spoons…. #AutismNotPD

We need to be very very very very) alert to the rolling out of ICD PD questionnaires across the mental health population. There are multiple forms of erasure in it that will be used to block or reduce access to services, not just mental health but general healthcare. Keep 👀 💜X #AutismNotPD
