Young adult with autism- or is it something else?

I have found learning as much about DBT and especially the skills families can use greatly improved the dynamic between me and my maybe-BPD young adult. There are lots of podcasts, books, videos out there teaching those. My DC did a full DBT program which includes a parent skills class, but if you find DBT helpful, you may be able to take that component without your DS being in the full program.

It sounds like borderline personality disorder but that could be from something as simple as untreated strep. Yes, I know people will attack that idea but it's true. Don't wait 20+ years for the science to make its way to the UrgentCare. Try to get a really deep, invasive strep test. Good luck, OP.

No... I don't think ADHD is this extreme in terms of interpersonal dysfunction.
