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.

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

I've never seen a therapist or been diagnosed, so I went surfing through to find this community. I've seen a lot of OCD symptoms written online. Here is what I experience that I feel may be OCD. If any of you guys agrees, please let me know. I have only ever been able to call my mom by her first name. I have never been able to not do that. She tried to make me call her mom once as a kid but it felt so wrong that I started crying. Everytime I see a wet floor sign, I say "piso mojado" out loud. I have plenty of harsh intrusive thoughts, such as committing acts of violence when I see people not using their turn signals, interrupting performers at a concert. I make myself re-press on my phone alarms 10-12 times each day in the same rythym until it feels fully set to go off. Light switches get flicked off and on, I can't stand not doing it. I have to double-check everything and make myself re-look through the same drawers at work for hours. I love to write, but I never get far because I need approval from others. My head is also always filled to the brim with thoughts which has made writing and things like memory a lot harder. I can't use spoons. I can only use forks for almost everything. I can't stand them. That's all I can think of for right now. Please let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

This list by ai gives a good summary of my symptoms. Does it resemble OCD or is it something else? 1. Compulsions (OCD-specific behaviors): • Feeling the need to flex or contract muscles an even number of times, equally on both sides of your body. • Needing to reverse actions (for example, if you roll your eyes or trace a line with your finger, you feel compelled to do it again in the exact opposite way). 2. Intrusive Thoughts (OCD-specific ruminations): • Daydreaming about people you care about getting hurt (e.g., school shooting, injury, or kidnapping). • Sometimes feeling like you might want something bad to happen to someone you find attractive—possibly because of a desire to help or save them, though it’s confusing. • These thoughts can sometimes provide a twisted sense of relief while remaining distressing and confusing. 3. Sexual Orientation OCD: • Experiencing confusion or doubt about your sexual orientation. 4. Contamination Thoughts: • Feeling like things are contaminated, especially after touching something gross. 5. Sensory Compulsions: • Feeling the need to smell your hand after touching areas like your ear or hair. 6. ADHD-like Symptoms / Additional Observations: • Fidgeting or moving your legs when standing or sitting.

I am currently attending talk therapy but have never brought up symptoms of OCD. Here are some things that I believe MIGHT be OCD but I’m not sure. - I have a lot of trouble focusing and get distracted by so many things (Constantly wanting to touch things like Buttons, feeling textured things, etc.) - The volume on ANY device can not be at any volume with the number 6 - I can NOT step on cracks - I have to walk an equal amount of steps on both feet or I’ll go crazy - I fear that if I do something I’m not supposed to, something bad is going to happen to me I might sound funny but these things genuinely bother me, your help is appreciated LOL
