Who else has both of these genetic malfunctions which have left me with impaired social skills

Me too, but I'm alot better than I used to be. I took special classes to help me overcome my fear of people, to give out better social cues, and to observe other people in a social setting. It's better. Sometimes I withdraw again and isolate, but I have accomplished many things no one thought I would ever be able to do. Just have a better attitude. Everybody has things to overcome in life. It keeps us humble.

My bf does, he doesnt have the kind of ocd were he has to have everythin a certain way or wash his hands a certain amount of times etc he gets intrusive thoughts and images, he also is on the autism spectrum. It's really hard for him to cope with and admittedly it is hard for me sometimes as well although i always am there for him. I think people with things like aspergers syndrome etc are more prone to things like ocd and anxiety disorders than neurotypical people.

You can pray about your life. Prayer can change you and help you feel better. Know that God can help you live a better life if you want Him to help you. You can have a personal relationship with God by saying the prayer below. God is our Creator, all-knowing, all-powerful, eternal, holy, love. God loves us and sent us His Son, Jesus Christ, so we can go to heaven if we know and follow Him. Forever means without end -- time on and on without death. Forever is what happens after we die. Either we go to heaven and be with God forever, or we go to hell which is very bad and painful forever. The good people who are saved believers in Jesus Christ go to heaven. The bad people go to hell. We need to know and follow God in this world to get to heaven in the next world. We follow God by loving and obeying Him and loving others for Him. Jesus Christ, God's Son, is our bridge to God. Jesus died on the cross to cancel our sins. We need to accept Jesus into our life as our Lord and Savior forever to receive God's blessing and forgiveness plus go to heaven to be with God forever after we die. This is about being a born-again Christian. Faith in God is a gift from God. You can pray for faith in God. Just speak out and ask God for the faith to believe in Him and to follow Him. Some people find faith in God when they realize the beauty in the world is made by God. Evolution can't explain the world's natural beauty, for example, the parks in the world, animals, flowers, peacocks, sunsets, butterflies, rainbows, etc. After you have your faith on, you can pray a sinner's prayer to be a born-again Christian. This prayer is very important and should be said with a sincere heart and faith in God. This is the prayer: "Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and that Jesus Christ is the sacrifice for our sins. I have done the following sins (state these out) and I pray to discontinue these sins. I pray to receive Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior forever. In Jesus' name, amen. " I'm Lutheran and I like the Baptist churches too. You could check out a Christian church and also see about their weekly Bible study group as a good way to learn about God's will for your life. You can pray to God about your daily life and have a Christian church pray for you.

Wow... three of us responding to this have it so far. Yep... Me too. It has its ups and down, but I think it gives us a different perspective on life than NTs which can have its advantages at times. Also, a lot of brilliant people only prospered because of the OCD... check Wrongplanet
