Distinguishing OCPD from ASD and ADHD

In this chapter, they discuss the challenges of differentiating between obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) and neurodiverse conditions such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). They explore how individuals with OCPD struggle to recognize and respond to other people's emotions, while those with ASD have difficulty relating to others. They also discuss the purposefulness of repetitive behaviors in OCPD versus the soothing quality in ASD.
