Is this an Asperger’s thing? If so what’s it called?

  • Does anyone get a fixation on a thought or see something that they don’t like but for some reason they have to keep on thinking about it or looking at it even if it’s distressing. Almost like a compulsion even though you don’t like what it is. It’s an embarrassing example. But I recently was informed about a sexual practice I found repulsive and weird but can’t stop thinking about it for some reason. Sorry for the weird example, it’s the most recent one. Is this an Asperger’s thing. If so what’s it called?

    I too have similar episodes, I was diagnosed with OCD before I received my ASD diagnosis. 
    I have had long spells where I’m compelled to look up and research some  horrid things. It can be really distressing. 
    I think it’s just part of what I do when exhausted. It can take an age to break habits.
