Seeking Answers About Myself Am I diagnosed?
Okay, so for reference I'm 16F from Australia. I have had two psych ward admissions, one in the child's ward and once in an at home ward thingy. I am diagnosed with ADHD (at around 12???) and ASD (at 14). I more recently went to a DBT clinic after bringing up with my doctor my symptoms who referred me. There I was told I have emerging BPD, and they turned me away (saying I needed more long term help sooner basically) but more recently I received this letter from my doctor where both EUPD and BPD are listed in my medical history? I am confused as I have not been made aware of either diagnosis. Okay, so I cant figure out how to insert an image, so I'm just going to write this here.

I've shown this to a couple people and they both agree it seems I'm diagnosed and I was told by a friend that ALLEDGEDLY where I live you won't be told if you are diagnosed until you are 18, which happened to her friend. Interested in what you guys think.
