Guest guest Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Hello, I am new to the group. I have a 12 year old son who finally got diagnosed with OCD this last summer. I have seen symptoms since he was about five or six years old and there has always been anxiety issues. He has a very classic OCD in that he has many different compulsions and obsessions. As I have been reading the posts, I have seen that there are quite a few Aspies that also have OCD. I read the description of an Aspie child and it also sounds a lot like my son. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of history. He has horrid large motor skills, and has sensory issues. And he has incredible social problems. I asked his psychiatrist and she said that she felt the social problems were more due to a social phobia than Aspergers. She said that since he did have some empathy there was no way he could also have Asperger's. I guess I was wondering how the parents that had an OCD and Aspie child realized it was both, and how you were able to differentiate one from the other. Thanks so much, Tatiana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
