I know a lot of people have spoken about this topic on here before but I really wanted to put a post out as it's something I'm figuring out at the moment.
I have known I was autistic for a few years now but I am starting to think more and more that I may have OCD as well. I have heard there are a lot of links between autism and OCD and lots of people have both. I just wondered if this was the case and if anyone could tell me any more about it and the links between the two? Would really help
Hi Billy
There is definitely a link between being autistic and experiencing OCD which I think is partly because it is more common for us to be monotropic. I assume you know what monotropism is?
Here are some articles about the link:

I hope this helps!
Hi Ausome, thanks for the articles, I will have a read. I don't actually know what monotropic is
