| I have not dated in a long time, and the last time that I had sex, I was very self-conscious and a bit awkward. I've always had a problem just "letting go" and trusting my body when I have been with a woman and some of this is from being self-conscious and I think that some of it might be ... |

| My husband's first batch of diagnoses was Schizoid Personality Disorder OCD Major depression. I've met people with severe OCD and they were nothing like my husband.

| I can't add much to the the OCD vs. ASD discussion, but have you considered getting a third opinion, maybe from a psychologist who specializes in diagnosing ASD? I don't think it would be considered "shopping around" as you have one professional who thinks yes, you have it, and another wh... |

I recently had my neuro psych evaluation and according to the doctor, every symptom I described is from obsessive compulsive disorder and that I do not have Asperger's.
