I understand that it&#x27;s personal the problem with AAA is that it ignores quite a few of the childhood symptoms of what was Asperger assuming that we would grow out of, the test cast very wide net and even have some contradictory evaluation criteria within them (e.g. DSM-4 referenced that people with Asperger have an aversion for fiction and have difficulty relating to non fictional works, however it also says that the exact opposite might be true and that people with Asperger find science fiction and or fantasy very attractive and are fascinated by it. And that&#x27;s hardly the only internal contradiction in them pretty much most criteria have either internal loopholes or catch anything that strafes to close to one of the poles).<p>And while this is utterly not a medical opinion Asperger in adult women i now quite commonly falsely diagnosed in place of borderline emotional personality disorder which predominantly affects women (80% of patients) and is has quite common late onset triggers. This is especially common on early cases of BPD or due to short observation period where mood swings and various other tenancies that are not only not indicative or Asperger but outright rule it out cannot be properly observed. Beyond that BPD and Asperger can have quite similar symptoms in terms of case book diagnosis (which often the only thing that most mental health professionals have to go by unless they have been treating the patient for chronically) as BPD often can exhibit similar emotional shortcomings (lack of empathy, being unable to recognize or reflect emotion) and irregular thinking as well as distractedness (which may also be interpreted as inability to properly communicate&#x2F;hold conversation) and forgetfulness which often again can be attributed to several AAS criteria.<p>ASD&#x2F;AAS while I&#x27;m sure are unpleasant (not trying to be patronizing just don&#x27;t have a better word for it) are not life threatening BDP however can be so while it&#x27;s quite unlikely you&#x27;ll take an advice from some internet smartass I would definitely get a second and even a third opinion in your case.
