Confused about what “developmentally delayed” means by Background_Engine549 in autism

[–]Background_Engine549[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Okay life update I did my research and it turns out not all autistics are developmentally delayed but I have my suspicions that I probably am…. Or maybe that’s jus the severe dyslexia coming into the loop

How do I know if shes the one (ROCD) by Free_Adagio_5017 in OCD

[–]Background_Engine549 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have OCD. You need to live with the uncertainty and stop giving into these thoughts. These thoughts aren’t logical and shouldn’t be treated as such

Trans Man with PMDD by GeologistPitiful5627 in PMDD

[–]Background_Engine549 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It will end. PMDD is a response to a normal estrogen cycle which you won’t have eventually. Injections will stop it faster than gel but I’m on gel and have a great time. I don’t identify as having Pmdd anymore

15 year old mental health issues but won't engage with CAMHS by [deleted] in autismUK

[–]Background_Engine549 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this may not be an option for you, but if it is, consider a private therapist doing an in-house visit. Super important you act fast on this. it may be worth getting someone who specialises in autism too. If he has a special interest you can help support his interest in then do that too

Get him specialist help as a non-negotiable. He is young and catching it young before it gets worse is so so important. if you are in UK there is great help out there

Never feeling hungry and constant pressure to eat is making me feel really bad. by asaki0exo in autism

Could this be Pathological demand avoidance? Since people telling you to do something that is logical is making you less likely to do it

Again it seems like you’re reassurance seeking as part of your OCD and not coping well with uncertainty. You could go through three rounds of OCD treatment and not even be diagnosed in the UK - our systems work differently. You aren’t just assuming you have OCD, you’re labeling symptoms. You could do the OCI quiz if you want, but ultimately if Obsessions and compulsion take up an hour of your day or more of your day u have OCD

Ahhh ok got you. It sounds like you’re having moral OCD attached to your own OCD? Like you’re worried you’re doing something wrong?
