Guest guest Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Hi Garry- Â I think this may be a national study as my daughter and I participated and Columbia Presbyterian in NYC. M Subject: Re: Ask drs To: Date: Saturday, March 27, 2010, 4:14 PM Â Hello! If this helps anyone, s Hopkins is running a research study investigating the genetics of OCD. I heard about it from the OCD Chicago spring newsletter. Here is the link to their site. http://www.hopkinsm edicine.org/ ocd/progress. asp I have signed up myself and my daughter to participate and am trying to talk my brother into participating as well. There is a 2.5 hour interview plus blood samples required. Hopefully these research teams can figure out OCD and save other families in the future a lot of heartache! > > Hello. My name is Bri and I have 3 young kids. Two of them, ages 6.5 and 8.5, most likely have OCD. I've been reading posts on this list for awhile and they describe my kids to a " T " . My question is: my kids also have traits common to children w/asperger's (my 8 yo was dx'd w/this when she was 4) and they have severe sensory issues. They are also super bright....how would I determine whether they have OCD or aspergers? They seem to overlap in so many ways....could a person have aspergers w/OCD or is OCD a part of aspergers? My son is about to start therapy for OCD to treat severe oral aversions but I'm not sure if we're going in the right direction. > > I'm also wondering how strong the genetic component for OCD is? > > Thanks for ANY input! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
