Do You Have Autism And OCD_ (MUST SEE)

Aspergers and Autism Podcast [The Aspie World]

About

Did you know that autistic people are more likely to experience OCD — but it’s often misunderstood or missed completely? In this episode of The Aspie World Podcast, I break down the connection between autism and obsessive-compulsive disorder, how to spot the signs, and what you can do if you think you might have both conditions.

Many autistic adults live with undiagnosed OCD because the traits can overlap or get mislabelled as “just autism.” Understanding the difference can reduce anxiety, improve coping strategies, and help you get the right support.
