Is it true that obsessive-compulsive disorder is linked to autism?
Unclear. Several peer-reviewed studies report genetic overlap, co-occurrence, or shared symptom measures between OCD and autism spectrum disorder, but each covers only a narrow sample or genetic proxy rather than establishing a general link.
