The whole "I was misdiagnosed with Borderline/Bipolar/Narcissistic Personality, but actually I'm just Autistic/an ADHDer" narrative so many people have is like... so so close to identifying the actual problem. and yet also so so far

consider..... maybe no one actually has "is an evil manipulator" disease... and that pushing against the conception of *any* person as an evil/disordered personality is more important than scrubbing only yourself clean of those associations

The idea person's whole personality could be incurably "disordered"? That's a cruel and dehumanizing idea. If you're an Autistic person or ADHDer who was treated really badly because ppl thought you were Borderline or NPD... consider no one should be treated that way

Every BPD and NPD diagnosis is a misdiagnosis, when you get right down to it, because the idea that someone's personality can be disordered doesn't hold up to theoretical scrutiny or any of the available treatment data.
