Autism and OCD

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

  • Well Billy, autism and OCD certainly sit side-by-side in my book; I was assessed with both conditions simultaneously. Also, I was assessed with another rather similar little 'gem' -  Arithmomania. It's numbers all the way, I count repeatedly up to a hundred and back again to one. Comfort through repetition. Comfort through repetition....
