Nicole shares her personal experience being misdiagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) when it was actually Autism. We explore symptom overlap, how Autistic people are more at risk of developing BPD and why context of symptoms is so important. This episode also highlights the commonly shared experience of suicidal ideation in Autistic adults.
