I think almost all therapists try to avoid pigeonholing their patients/clients. It sounds like you are getting hit over the head with TWO possible diagnoses- BPD and Asperger's. Why would she do this after all this time? It would hurt anybody.
You seem very empathic, and it seems easy for you to understand other people's feelings in quite a complex manner. This would rule out Aspergers in my mind.
As for BPD, as you know, it's often thought of now as a disorder of emotional regulation. All of us here probably have it at least a little. But it's very treatable now, and even gets better by itself as people get older. But hearing that diagnosis IS very painful.
I wonder whether your t is presently not able to meet your needs in the way you need and deserve. You did mention contacting another t, so perhaps you are having this same thought.
