Studies have found that some people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) also have a form of personality disorder. Of the various forms of personality disorders, borderline personality disorder (BPD) and autism as a combination seem to be the most prevalent. A large number of clients I have worked with admit that this is a problem for them and some seem to have no idea the effects of their actions on others, their co-workers, their bosses or those around them. Both groups have interpersonal problems, however, it is the ability to manipulate and defame that separates them. Autistic people have difficulty with social skills.
People with personality disorders are also known for their poor interpersonal skills. Despite many years of experience, these situations also highlight the value of personal reflection and regular questioning of one's own practice. Both patients with AD and those with BPD participated less than controls in improving interpersonal affect. Regarding the difference between autism and narcissism, the scores of ASD patients on the NEO-PI-R modesty and compliance subscales were comparable to those of non-clinical control subjects. People with late diagnosis report higher levels of co-occurring psychiatric disorders or misdiagnoses, because some features of ASD may overlap with symptoms of other psychiatric conditions, as well as personality disorders (PD).
This led to suspicion of a comorbid ASD that was supported by screening aids such as the autism quotient, 27 Ritvo Autism & Asperger Diagnostic Scale (RAADS), 28 and ADOS. Cybercrime, cyberbullying, personality disorders, autism, trolling, theater, doctorate in manipulation, public defamation campaigns, tall poppy syndrome, hatred, death threats, victim guilt. The findings of most studies support that ASD in high-functioning adults is associated with a different personality profile, even if there is variability. It is worth noting here that many in the autism community now believe that autistic people only have fewer traits of cognitive empathy, and some actually experience higher emotional empathy than normal. At the same time, ASD characteristics are statistically independent of the personality traits of the Big Five in clinical samples. The first problem for doctors who assess personality in adult patients with ASD is to determine whether personality traits are part of the same autistic phenomenology or, rather, represent different categorical factors (comorbidity).
However, neuropsychiatric dysfunctions associated with ASD allow considerable variation in personality. In addition, there were significant differences in methodological approaches, including instruments for diagnosing ASD and personality measures. The ASD sample had higher scores on the L validity scale (Lie), the clinical scale of depression (D) and social introversion (Si), the social distress content scale (SOD), the repression scale of the supplementary scale (R) and psychopathology of personality five (PSY- introversion (INTR) than a matched sample of students college students. It is important for parents to consider consulting with a qualified professional if there is concern that their autistic child or children will show symptoms of borderline personality disorder. Differential diagnosis, comorbidities, and overlaps with other psychiatric disorders are common among adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but clinical evaluations often miss screening for personality disorders (PD), which are especially common in people with high ASD operation where there is less need for support. It is essential to understand how autism can lead to personality disorders so that appropriate interventions can be provided to those affected. It is important to note that not all people with autism will develop a personality disorder; however, it is important to be aware of the potential risks so that early intervention can be provided if needed.
It is also important to recognize that individuals with autism may not always display symptoms associated with a particular disorder; however, they may still be at risk for developing one. Therefore, it is important to monitor behavior closely and provide appropriate interventions when needed. Finally, it is essential to remember that individuals with autism are unique and should be treated as such. It is important to recognize that each individual has different needs and should be treated accordingly.
With proper support and understanding from family members and professionals alike, individuals with autism can lead fulfilling lives.
