Summary:
This study wants to find out if the checklists we use to check for OCD can help identify OCD symptoms in autistic adults. We want to see if these checklists can tell the difference between autistic traits and OCD symptoms in autistic adults.
We are also looking to find out if these checklists can show us what OCD is like in autistic adults.
