| My best friend has Tourettes and she never breaks into song, hum, or anything like that. I do it when I'm talking to my children. Instead of talking, I sing to them. I have BPD w/ sensory issues. You might want to ask your doctor if it's something you are concerned about. I embarrass my kids sometim... |

| I used to take Adderall and Vyvanse. Vyvanse was added after the Adderall wasn't helping much; it only made my heart race. When taking them together they worked well for my concentration. Best thing was that I could wake up well in the morning and go to sleep w/o trouble every night, which I haven'... |

| I am pretty sure they are correct on the BPD diagnosis (even though I have serious sensory and social issues). Some of the things this was based on was: -I have had MANY jobs, but most of them have been waitressing. I have no problem going up to someone and talking to them. I would usually get fired... |

| I have recently been diagnosed with BPD w/ SPD (thought it was Asperger's at first). Since then I have been doing a lot of reading. Looking at the causes, I noticed that childhood abuse was one of the main ones. I thought back on my childhood and noticed some odd things. Growing up my father was nev... |

| Check with a professional. I thought I had Asperger's and was diagnosed with BPD and SPD. They were right. |

I have been a Nails fan since 1989. Believe it. Closer is so overplayed. As for Hurt, even though I can occasion tolerate listening to it, Johnny Cash ruined it for me. |

| Borderline Personality Disorder w/ Sensory Processing Disorder. It was quite a punch in the stomach, but I think they are correct. Does BPD and Asperger's get mixed up a lot? Not that I know of, but sensory processing disorders are often assumed to indicate AS, even though you can have sensory proc... |

| My ASD traits got me diagnosed with BPD last year. I know my experience is not unique, either. So, yeah, I do think they get mixed up, although I do not know how frequently.
