It's a common comorbid with ASD on my autism forums. Especially for girls. I know a couple kids who have OCD with an anxiety disorder. In any case, anxiety or changes in routine can make things behaviors worse. It can also be present alone.
DS doesn't have an OCD dx, but he has a lot of similar traits/GAD (along with AS). He got a lot of relief with CBT and medication.

Thanks for all of the replies! Really appreciate it! We are working on breaking the OCD cycle and making sure to empower her. It's a hard, long road. I admire all of you and your strength! Thx!
