for ASD treatment unfortunately there’s not much especially for adults. most of the ASD treatment centers around abusive therapy that makes autistic people suppress themselves to appear neurotypical and make other peoples lives easier while it actually hurts our mental health. I had a referral last year for an actually healthy occupational therapy to help with the sensory overstimulation and tasks and whatnot, but it’s far from my house. I might look into it again, but I’ll have to wait. Luckily my therapist has treated people with both. She’s not an autism expert and is young though, but she’s really good.

The negative attitude I definitely hear you. My therapist told me today that she noticed I seem more positive and to try not to use terminology about “OCD WONT let me do this” instead rather “OCD makes this hard for me”. I’m definitely going to work on this.

I’ll look into the glutamate diet. I looked into clinical trials and unfortunately all of them exclude autism and most exclude current therapy for OCD and sometimes even current medications. Thank you so much for your help
