Belief that life must be perfect?

Has she ever had a neuropsychological evaluation? It's a very comprehensive evaluation.

It's possible to have a combination of mental health disorders. For example, autism usually comes with anxiety and ADHD built in. Autistic people tend to be extremely rigid in their mental make-up, and not tolerate things that confuse them or go outside of the boundaries they have set for their lives.

I say this because your daughter appears to have the mental rigidity of autism, even though in other regards she may not present as autistic (in social aspects, for example).

She also appears to have very little emotional control, which is common in some autism presentations.

DBT and meds might help, but the reality is that you can only do so much.

I would explore that before exploring borderline personality disorder.
