It doesn't surprise me a female with asperger's would get diagnosed with BPD. Probably the meltdowns you experienced, the therapist thought were due to BPD. I had the same issues with bipolar disorder, I was misdiagnosed as bipolar as my interests seemed to be hypomania to my psychiatrist.

This really helped me a lot. Thank you for sharing it. :)

I SO RELATE!! I'm recovering from BPD - have made beautiful progress - only to be slapped with the same AS label. I'm devastated to learn that my social ineptitude won't end with the BP's resolution. So exhausting..

Many females with Aspergers are misdiagnosed with personality disorders by low experience, low educated healthcare providers. BPD is a trauma/psychological injury illness. I have complex PTSD and Aspergers, yet they tried to say I had several different PDs depending on the practitioner. In Alaska DX is often done by social workers. I call them the social worker mafia. They harm a lot of people who don't know they are clueless. As a nurse a know BPD is used as a label quite often,
If you have Aspergers you may have never had BPD.

How I wish :) I did have BPD. I still have AS. They are not the same at all. To some it may appear as though they are the same, but they aren't. Some people have both, some don't. There is no doubt that I had BPD.

I understand that. It's not that I "got" it when I was 40 - that was simpy when I found out I had it - and as you say - I have had it all my life - something that became obvious but that I hadn't known before.

I am not sure how closely connected they are. I think that they co-occur but not because they are directly related to each other just because some people do have both. I recovered from BPD - AS, you learn to live with as best you can.
