| Sumario: | Research shows significant rates of comorbid symptoms in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disabilities (ID). The presence of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms has been little researched and is poorly understood across the spectrum. Understanding the structure and behaviour of OCD symptoms in autism is necessary, given their presence and the negative effect on the quality of life levels of affected people. One hundred twenty-eight adults (128) (M = 36.63 years, SD = 8.54) with autism and intellectual disabilities were evaluated to know the structure of OCD symptoms in autism and their relationship with ASD symptomatology. For this purpose, a network analysis was carried out. The results showed that obsessive and compulsive symptoms present themselves as two connected but independent networks. Similarly, ASD and OCD symptoms are observed as different clusters. These findings suggest that OCD symptoms may have a different nature on the autism spectrum |
