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. Yes there's definitely a link between autism and OCD. In fact autism is linked with many things including anxiety, I have this as well as OCD.
I'm autistic and have OCD and both together are not a great combination but OCD is definitely manageable so don't worry too much about it. When you find good coping methods it can really improve things for you.
BTW I love the hippo in your PFP. I like hippos :)
