SLP 348: Understanding OCD and Autism with Guest Dean Beadle

Join Sue for an upcoming Live Virtual Workshop where you will learn from Sue practical tips & strategies to make a difference.

✅ OCD vs Autism: autism celebrates identity, OCD only causes distress.
✅ Real Event OCD: invents false narratives around dim memories.
✅ The OCD Cycle: obsession, anxiety, compulsion, relief, then repeat.
✅ Breaking Compulsions: not doing them weakens the entire cycle.
✅ Compulsions vs Rituals: compulsions fear-based, rituals come from joy.
✅ Repetition Source: joy means encourage, fear means co-regulate.
✅ Living Around OCD: continue normal life despite intrusive thoughts.
