Alot of traits of autism overlap with many many different conditions! Autism and adhd, sensory processing disorders, social anxiety, even dun dun dun OCD!, ect. They all have overlapping symptoms. You're a male correct? Most males are diagnosed as autistic at a very early age as it has been highly studied in the male population and intervention is brought on by teachers and other adults early on.

@Jenny_depressed_af My brain basically making a connection like "if she csn read people then that means like she can feel if I have it or maybe something is telling her" because she also has a kid with autism as well so it just scares me.

@Jenny_depressed_af Shes like a medium meaning she feels things on a deeper level can talk to the passed you get the point, she said that shes always thought i was autistic from a young age. This is something that really bothers my OCD and im dwelling on it. She can also feel what a person is feeling or read them like what kind if person they are.

In your personal opinion do you think I do with all of those symptoms?

You're asking for reassurance. Stop. You must deal with the uncertainty.

It depends really I guess on what traits. My dad's autistic and possibly me (I haven't had the chance to get diagnosed) My dad has sensory difficulties, trouble making eye contact, trouble speaking to people and not knowing what's appropriate to say or not (also not reading the room for example) But I dont think that it's a big deal if you are autistic since it doesn't change anything about you at all. Also symptoms can be caused by other things as well you won't really know unless you talk to a professional

Confused about ocd
How to know if you actually have it or if I’m just making up the symptoms? I have a lot of intrusive thoughts constantly and even have a “theme” but it really surged after I search up what I was experiencing, but then again I search up a lot of what I experience and constantly have to recheck things. My parents say I’m normal but I know I’m not, (both of my siblings have adhd) I find it immensely hard to focus from turning 17-18. Please let me know what you think l! Thanks!

anyone with autism + ocd?
so. oh lord. half my ocd symptoms could be autism. (not that im looking for a triple diagnosis including adhd, its just interesting to explore) this little ol rabbit hole started with my friend, who happens to be autistic and passionate about how their own condition works, when they started slowly easing the convo into an autism screening and by the time i realized what he was doing it was “oh my god ur kinda right i might be wrong for denying all this time that i could have autism” always thought my experience with texture/sensory as a toddler (and now) was ocd, because thats mainly what made adults call me ocd, more blatant ocd signs aside (such as touching things “just right”, ordering items etc) wondered why i was like that when theres not even a *direct* link between ocd and sensory issues (not the same as somatic ocd) thought i just happen to be an extremely sensitive person since i was born, now realizing that couldve been a sign of autism, along side many more “quirks” ive always had anyone with autism and ocd that can tell me what their experience is like? what about when u were children? especially if u snuck under the radar until u were older, my parents have said only a few times in the moment that i remind them of an autistic kid but dont think i have it

I have some questions
Hey all, as an OCD newbie, i have some questions. These might be obvious or stupid, but idk, i just need some answers. 1. Is it hard for anyone else to watch movies and not get triggered? 2. Does anyone else get OCD about their OCD? 3. Is it possible/normal to have a lot of subtypes? And i mean like 6 or 7. 4. Do people usually misunderstand us and assume that our intrusive thoughts are actually what we want to do?
