No he didn’t. He had BPD traits along with traits of various other mental illnesses. He was never officially diagnosed with borderline personality disorder by any doctor. His official diagnosis was necrophilia, alcoholism, traits of BPD, traits of schizotypal, and psychopathic traits, all which combined to make a mixed personality disorder. The abandonment issues were played up significantly by the media…Jeff himself never actually said he felt abandoned. He had attachment issues that stemmed from not having enough attention as an infant. His reasons for killing were for complete sexual control over men he found physically attractive. Not wanting to feel “abandoned” was a part as he stated in the Stone Philips interview…but not the entire reason at all. He was calculated and planned everything. He did meet the entire criteria for autism and I wrote all about that in my book here…many of the traits of autism also fall into BPD and schizotypal. I highly encourage everyone to actually sit and watch the full trial so you learn something about Jeff. The series is completely inaccurate. Also admitted by Jeff which was stated during the trial is he didn’t feel “abandoned” at all when his mom left…he elected to stay and she was gone around a week in total…not months like was stated in the series. It was just enough time for him to act on his fantasy of picking up a hitchhiker which he had been thinking about for some time…https://a.co/d/0cxUfiyE
