Do all autistic adults have either OCD or ADHD?

Lotus

It seems that a lot of autistic adults have OCD or ADHD - the OCD ones like everything to be clean and tidy, and the ADHD ones seem to have difficulty in organising stuff.

Do you have either of these? If so, how do they affect your day to day functioning?

I have OCD and I love a clean and tidy environment, and although I find bathing or showering a bit boring I feel better for doing it. I am highly organised with money, budget setting, paying bills, etc, and like recording things in a spreadsheet or making lists. I also do meal planning each week before doing my online shopping order. I cannot stand lateness either, but I'm not sure if that's an OCD thing?
