So both my partner and I have OCD. We both have multiple themes but my main is relationship OCD and my partner's is contamination OCD. (Idk if that matters or not.)
Anyway, both of us get confused really easily. We have friends that are diagnosed autistics and they think we just might be autistic and struggle with social cues.
As I've been learning about OCD, I've learned there's a TON of overlap with Autism. But it seems as tho ppl with OCD struggle socially due to them doubting whether they understood something correctly or not.
For my partner and I, *sometimes* it's because we're not sure if we correctly understood something. *A lot* of the time, we just genuinely don't understand what ppl are trying to communicate with us, we're completely clueless. So we're left confused a lot of the time.
Does anyone relate? Does anyone experience something similar? What are your experiences with social struggles?
