Episode Synopsis

Most people know or think they know and/or understand Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) but have you ever heard of Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD)?  The differences may just surprise you and there may be a lightbulb moment or two in this episode.
Many behavioral symptoms of autism and OCD actually overlap with each other.  The reality is that the symptoms are similar but the treatment is very different.  
In this episode, I talk about what OCD actually is and what it is not and give you a quick insight into OCPD which if you are like me, you might have never even heard of.
