Autism and OCD

Post Reply New Topic

I've read a lot about how autism and OCD overlap, such as with repetitive behaviours. However, I was wondering about possible overlaps between the two on the issue of intrusive thoughts.

Ever since I can remember I've struggled with intrusive thoughts. I would cry for days because I was afraid of killing my little sister, I was incredibly anxious when my doll wasn't on the right place in my bed, and whenever I hurt my friends' feelings I would break down and even become suicidal.

Is this a trait unique to OCD, or does autism sometimes present with these symptoms?

To my understanding, autism is OCD in many ways. I mean, they are separate conditions, but it's like autism includes a big chunk of typical OCD behaviours. Obsessive organization, feeling compelled towards perfectionism... That's my point of view. But then I have only recently started communicating with people that have Asperger's/autism. I'm not so sure about everyone else, but I am definitely obsessed with being perfect about everything. I have autism.

It is possible to have both and I hear OCD is part of autism. It seems like many of us have it anyway because of the worries and intrusive thoughts we get and we have a hard time moving on when something upsets us. I see no difference here but with the routines and rituals, the only difference I see is the magical thinking is absent and so is the need to do something over and over until it's right and the anxiety and compulsion behind it. OCD people don't do this to relax. And another difference is OCD people do not like their obsessions and there is worry behind their obsession than enjoyment and it doesn't relax them.
