The interface of autism and (borderline) personality disorder

Orestis Zavlis et al. Br J Psychiatry. 2024 Sep.

Abstract

Prominent clinical perspectives posit that the interface of autism and (borderline) personality disorder manifests as either a misdiagnosis of the former as the latter or a comorbidity of both. In this editorial, we integrate these disparate viewpoints by arguing that personality difficulties are inherent to the autistic spectrum.

Keywords: Autism; comorbidity; diagnostic medicine; misdiagnosis; personality disorder.
