ADVICE PLS: Although I’ve known about my OCD my whole life, I’ve developed depression in the past few years and have also recently started coming to terms with the fact that I’m probably on the autism spectrum. Does anyone here have experience with this combination? I want to hear about other people’s experiences and find some resources. Any advice appreciated

(you don't have to mask as much around people on the spectrum😃)

i am struggling i feel like especially with motivation to try to be an adult in a world where im not motivated to try to be so human all the time

omg yea and im in intensive treatment rn for ptsd

super early on tho

i have really bad anxiety as well and have been diagnosed late and then undiagnosed with adhd

i was diagnosed with ocd when i was 4 or 5

Is autism related to ocd? I have found hanging out with folks on the spectrum to be very calming for me (I do a board game meet up where they are higher population of autistic folks). I feel like I don't have to put in as much effort around them and they don't trigger me nearly as much as other folks.
