[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could he have OCD?[/quote]

Two people on my side of the family have OCD, so yes its a possibility. As a non-professional, it's not easy for me to know if that's part of it. Kid has a weird thing with only drinking one kind of water (so beyond the food stuff there is a thing about not liking tap water and recently only one preferred brand of water). I don't know if again it's an aversion, fear of the unknown, fear of bacteria...I'm not able to get answers about certain behaviors like that.

I don't see repetitive behaviors other than being rigid about routines and schedules. [/quote]

OCD is a form of anxiety. Autistic people have a lot of anxiety, and therefore OCD presents quite frequently in autistic people. All this is as clear as day, OP.

- living with two people with ADHD/autism/anxiety/OCD. It's all part of the same profile. [/quote]

OCD is definitely not the same as anxiety and it is not on a spectrum with autism. This is not a helpful framework. Agree that OP should get her child assessed if she thinks OCD may be in play. [/quote]
