I'm way out of my area of expertise, but if I had to guess, symptoms of OCD and autism can present themselves similarly but the underlying mechanism is totally different. For example, an autistic spins a cube in his hand repeatedly because that's more fascinating than...
Other activities "neuronormal" tend to enjoy. An ocd might do the same thing, but because they're convinced that if they don't, it will bring them bad luck that will kill one of their loved ones.

The Hallmark predictive diagnosis of autism is the sally-anne test right? Maybe you fake normal human interaction well i.e. typing "lol" to start a sentence, but there is just no way you're not passing that test. HOCD also seems to require a lot of social cognition.

I mean, respectfully, I’m telling you that I am both autistic (and therefore experience fascination and hyperfocus) and I have comorbid OCD - which feels like OCD, not fascination. Many autistic people have comorbid ocd, like we have comorbid adhd, dyslexia, SPD etc.
