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

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!

How do I know I have OCD?
Hey, so I've never actually been diagnosed with OCD. I did a little bit of research, I always thought OCD was organizing things. But I'm not normal, I have this thing where I feel something isn't right. I obsess over it or if I brush my hand over something correctly then it's fixed. Or I have to do this thing on stairs, I'll walk up a few or down them because something isn't right. I read this thing on memories. I know something happened, but then I doubt myself to the point I don't know if it happened. And I think too logically in relationships. I'll put statistics on things and if they might not work out I distance myself, there's other odd things I do. My family always told me I was fine but then said things like I was messed up, and said to just ignore what I felt. Like I was making it up. I don't know what to do, I don't have a doctor currently, I was never diognosed. Is there a way to be sure I have it? Or a way to stop everything? I just want to stop everything, please and thank you. Sorry for the long post. If anyone can help, I would be so thankful.

Unsure if OCD sometimes
I was diagnosed with OCD around the age of 6, subtype- contamination primarily. It calmed down as I got older and I assumed it had gone away, but also didn’t realize it can show up in other ways, and it still had been effecting me which I know now. I’m not 31 and I’ve been in therapy for a year and it’s helped a lot, although I sometimes get thoughts that what if some of the stuff I’m dealing with isn’t ocd and I’m exaggerating. I feel like thoughts will feel sticky and I’ll do certain compulsions but then the thought eventually vanishes if I do it a few times which makes me think maybe it’s not OCD since other people/friends I know would probably do the exact same thing. Not sure if I’m making sense, but I guess my question is if that thought comes up with anyone else? Just being unsure if something you’re doing actually is ocd or not.
