Drs don’t know about pure o

[green123Participant]

I had a consultation to try and get specialist ocd treatment and the consultant doesn’t think I have ocd because I don’t have outward compulsions with the intrusive thoughts (I also have mild contamination Ocd) so she said I have autism with “intrusions” and it’s a nurodevelomental disorder, when all I talked about was intrusive thoughts nothing to do with sensory and social problems I didn’t talk about anything to do with autism, now they’re trying to give me anti psychotics even though it’s autism according to her. I can’t believe my life is in the hands of theses idiots, no one in my town even the psychologists and consultants know about pure ocd and invisible compulsions, now I probably wont get the referral and they’re gonna leave me on my own yet again I hate these horrible abusive people
