Also isn't it anxiety if an aspie can't engage in an interest because they would have meltdowns and shut downs and be anxious without their obsession? How many times here have people written how they would get depressed or suicidal without their interest and have meltdowns if someone took away their special interest and one member wrote here how he would punch holes in walls whenever his mom took away his special interests.

I think it's the type of anxiety that's the difference , with OCD I think the compulsions are done to stop something bad happening due to an an irrational thought like if I don't clean the house, me or a loved with contract a horrible infection. The cleaning is the compulsion in OCD.
With ASD I think a cleaning might be because you like things to look clean & tidy but I doubt you have irrational thoughts about harming someone if you don't clean. It just feels better when it's clean , with OCD it will never be clean enough or at least not clean enough for long.
I think when someone is stopped from doing their special interest the only bad thing that happens is your mood changes and the other associated things , anger , meltdown , depression etc I don't believe there are obsessional thoughts that may trigger a compulsive behaviours
I could be wrong , Stampy will put be right if I wrong

Dear Stampy,
I wish to extend my apology to you. I am very sorry for what I wrote, this morning. I have never reacted so irrationally to anything. I don't know how to tell you how sorry I am. I wish I could delete my post. I feel I have tarnished your thread, and I wish to fix it.
All I can think of, after much introspection, is that I have had a difficult situation that has been looming in my mind, that may have been brought to the surface, by reading here, this morning. There is no excuse, however, for having written or thought as I had. and I am aware that I could have prevented it, by handling the difficulty I have been having, in the appropriate manner.
Neither, you, nor Ferris did anything wrong. It has made me, immensely, happy to see you happy and enjoying yourself, and that is the purpose of this thread. Things can seem in disarray, or, out of order, when I become anxious, however, my dis-ease, is mine and mine, alone, to sort through, and it wasn't right for me to express what I had. I have tools that I use in such instances, and I neglected them, and instead, behaved disrespectfully and inappropriately. I don't know if there are words to express to you, and others, how sorry I am. You are the last person on earth, who I would ever want to cause distress to.
I am very sorry, Stampy.

Don't worry about it, Britte. I know that is terrible advice to give someone with anxiety, but there is no reason to ever feel ashamed for any worries you have. I promise you have not ruined my thread, and you are welcome here at any time. We can just forget about the post, or I could possibly ask a moderator to delete the whole conversation so it doesn't bother anybody anymore. Never feel sorry for any pain you go through, anxiety is enough without needing to feel guilt about it
!I hope you are able to get through this. Just know that your friends don't have any bad feelings towards you for anything you have ever posted here, and we all go through the same type of thing with our own anxiety. I don't use my tools that I have been given when I get anxious sometimes either. It is very, very hard, and I get that so much. I don't want you to feel bad, because sometimes anxiety can be very painful and extreme. We all know how you feel, and I hope and pray you don't feel bad about it any longer. You haven't done anything wrong at all. I am very sorry for all this trouble. Hugs
!

Stampy, Puddles has an odd singing style, I just checked him out on Youtube. He's not funny. But Howie likes him, not sure what the charm is. A sad clown? 
I know! I think he is a pretty good singer, but it is a little weird how he sings

That's pretty much all right
! I don't know why a 13 year old is the go to expert on OCD here, but I'm glad to help if I'm allowed. Assuming I am because I like to talk a lot, especially about this sort of thing, I will 
! Sorry!The only main thing I would like to add is that there is one type of OCD that doesn't involve stopping bad things from happening. There are still negative feeling associated with it, but it is known as "Just Right OCD", I believe. There are very strong negative feelings attached to the compulsions, however. Here is an article: https://blogs.psychcentral.com/ocd-refl ... right-ocd/ .
Thanks for letting me blab on and on, Ferris

Just to add something to Stampy and LeagueGirl's posts- obsessive-compulsive traits are part and parcel of ASDs, but Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is a different entity with clinical obsessions and compulsions.
Thanks
. I completely agree !

Yeah, sorry Droid, wrong universe. 
I'm glad people like the new avatar SaveFerris created for me. I guess that means it looks OK then? The system chose 130x130 as dimensions, no idea why when the norm is 32x32. As long as it works, I won't play with it.

As long as it works, I won't play with it.Maximum avatar size is 160 x 130 pixels , so I have no idea why it chose that dimension , it doesn't look like a square avatar , but it's definitely smaller than the image on your avatar thread but I actually think it looks better that way.

LOL....I guess I would like it better if your avatar was your picture.
But I understand why you'd be reluctant to have your picture as your avatar.
My avatar is me in 2009.
