Did you know that autistic people are more likely to experience OCD — but it’s often misunderstood or missed completely? In this episode of The Aspie World Podcast, I break down the connection between autism and obsessive-compulsive disorder, how to spot the signs, and what you can do if you think you might have both conditions.

Many autistic adults live with undiagnosed OCD because the traits can overlap or get mislabelled as “just autism.” Understanding the difference can reduce anxiety, improve coping strategies, and help you get the right support.

  • The key differences between autistic repetitive behaviours and OCD compulsions

  • Why autistic people are more prone to OCD than neurotypical individuals

  • Signs you may have OCD alongside autism

  • Strategies for managing obsessive thoughts and rituals

  • Where to find help, diagnosis, and effective treatments

Whether you’re an autistic adult, a parent, or someone trying to understand yourself better, this episode gives you the tools to recognise symptoms and get support.

  • Autistic adults who suspect they may also have OCD

  • Parents supporting autistic children with obsessive behaviours

  • Teachers, carers, and therapists working with autistic individuals

  • Anyone curious about the link between autism and OCD

Understanding how autism and OCD overlap can be life-changing — it’s the first step to getting clarity and building better coping strategies.
