Is there a link between Autism and OCD? What is relationship OCD? What sort of strategies and treatments are there to treat OCD sufferers? Is early diagnosis best? How can we better represent autistic people in the media?

In this episode of the Thoughty Auti Podcast, Thomas talks to an openly gay and autistic BBC producer, Nick Ransom!

To kickstart the episode they both reflect on the many projects they've worked on together, starting with the BBC Radio Manchester short video, to Nick's interviews on 'Aspergers In Society', and of course the podcast we found ourselves on now. Nick tells us his inspiring story of childhood dreams being realised when he worked himself up from reporting local events to the tech utopia that is... the BBC's media city!

They soon delve into the intricacies of getting diagnosed autistic as an adult, but also introduce us to the in's and out's of OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) and the many ways it can manifest. Nick tells us of his battle with relationship OCD and some of the common misconceptions that he's come across post-diagnosis.
