Oh ok.
OCD and AS are different disorders though.
And I thought having that type of behavior similar to OCD was one of the symptoms in the criteria for AS/Autism?
yes it is, it also comes with a whole host of other awful things
OCD commonly comes with AS, usually to a small degree but most every person with AS has it to some degree
I wanna be a Comquack-not that I like or even know what that is, but because I think it sounds like something I'd be good at!
As I said though, isn't that type of behavior a symptom of AS/Autism, not actually OCD...
And I know it comes with other stuff, I went to a special educational needs school with people who have Autism/AS amongst other things. One of my very good friends actually has Autism, too.
usually yes
but its not uncommon for people with AS to have OCD as well
OCD is pretty tame compared to all the other hellish stuff AS likes to throw at you (i donno i am biased because i have it)

I say it like that because of the AS it isn't as strong as it would be as if I just had OCD (according to the shrink I saw when I was 13, though my memory around then is fuzzy at best because of a really bad case of strep throat I had...numerous drugs later-I became allergic to one-I was better, abit less memory)

I don't think I have OCD, I mean I have enough mental health issues as it is but when I get really stressed out I have to count things. Number of steps to a certain place, has to be a multiple of ten or else I have to repeat the movement until the number becomes a multiple of ten. I have to touch the edges of doors when I leave a room.
The counting is only mildly annoying, once I went into a music practic room with sound proofing. The sound proofing has thousands of little holes, I had to count them all and write each number in the bottom left hand corner of the tile to make the room safe again. That took a while...
I know I'm hardly suffering, but all of you are and I hope it can get easier for all of you.

There are different severity of OCD, some only suffer mildly, some suffer moderately, some suffer severely. I'd say you do have some traits of the typical OCD sufferer, and whether you've been diagnosed with the actual disorder or not, you're still welcome to post here.

I find this pretty offensive, I have spent years in and out of psych hospitals for having ocd (which they now think might be something else oh joy), and I, like Sarey, have been to a special educational needs school and my best friend f rom there has aspergers. I don't think this is the place to make competition as to who has the worst pain, it's inappropiate, and it's unfair and it's out of place on RYL.
Hello, I hope you don't mind me posting here.
I've had OCD for three years. My rituals include things like counting things in groups of 7, twirling past drains, jumping over cracks, tapping and kicking walls and tapping lightswitches. I look like a complete freak walking down a corridor or the street. Recently I decided that I wanted to take control over it and start working on not doing my rituals. I chose to do it intensively and for a while I managed not to do them sometimes, with support. But now my thoughts have got worse, and I'm scared the "bad thing" that I fear might happen. I don't want to work on it any more. But I've been told that I have to make progress or risk being thrown out. I'm just so scared. I don't know what the point of this post is. Just... hi.

I'm just quoting the quack, there is a reason I don't see quacks anymore... don't take those as my words, I really should have been more specific but...I was in a weird mood, I sometimes go hazy and say things, I think its all the allergy medication (it goes right to my head) though I am normally pretty bad with my word selections

Honey, I think he meant for him, it was pretty light compared to the other stuff his AS throws at him. But I was unsure if he meant that OCD in general was light or if his OCD was light compared to the other AS stuff thrown at him.
