Autism and OCD can sometimes look similar, especially when it comes to sensory sensitivities and avoidance.

In this video, Dr. Jeremy Shuman answers an important question:
How can we tell whether avoidance is driven by OCD fears or sensory hypersensitivity?

Understanding the difference can help guide more effective support and treatment.

Thank you to Texas A&M tight end Houston Thomas for selecting the International OCD Foundation as his "Aggies for a Cause" organization!

Obsessive compulsive disorder is a mental health illness that can have devastating effects on a person's life. While effective treatment is available, up to 95% of people with OCD never receive it.

Studies have shown that more than 1 in 3 NCAA athletes are likely to exhibit OCD symptoms. The IOCDF offers help, hope, and community to anyone struggling with OCD, including their family members and support network. Learn more at iocdf.org.

Go Aggies! 🏈

For Autism Acceptance Month, we are answering frequently asked questions about the overlap between autism and OCD.

In this video, Dr. Jon Hoffman from the Neurobehavioral Institute answers a common question about cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Some people think CBT is too structured or relies too heavily on worksheets. But is that actually essential to treatment?

Watch to learn how CBT can be adapted to better meet the needs of each individual.

“When I found the Boston OCD Walk, I instantly found the connection and hope that I was so desperately needing.”

Noemi has lived with OCD for as long as she can remember. Through treatment, community, and support from the International OCD Foundation, she found hope and the tools to move forward.

Today, she’s giving back by helping others see that recovery is possible.

👉 Access evidence based treatment through specialized clinician training
👉 Build community at events like the OCD Walks, the Annual OCD Conference, and Online OCD Camp

Every dollar helps bring us closer to a world where no child or family has to face OCD alone. 💙 Donate today at www.iocdf.org/helpkids
