A member asked:
Can an adult with asperger's syndrome ever be misdiagnosed with ocd instead?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Definitely: This happens less often now because of increased awareness of as. But, many teens and adults with as end up seeing doctors not because of the social problems but because of severe, impairing obsessions and repetitive behaviors. Those not familar with as well may focus just on those symptoms. Fortunately, the treatment is the same with or without as.
