I guess my confusion with that lies with an additional diagnosis I have: AvPD. Treatment for the pd has been hugely beneficial for me, where I don’t think treating social issues in autism can/should be beneficial or necessary. I’m not disagreeing with your take, I think similar brain structures can have similar symptoms. I just would hate to put anyone with autism through the therapy I have solely because it helped me navigate the world better.
If I had been diagnosed with autism, I would never gone through this treatment. I guess, as my therapist puts it “we don’t want to change autism” where the world does want to change personality disorders
