To Those with Autism and OCD

seeking advice

Hello, I had made a post before about how I had been evaluated, and that the two possible leads that the evaluator was looking at were Autism (as I had hit the threshold in testing), OCD, or a co-occurrence of the two potentially. I am 12 days from receiving the results, and the outlook thus far is that both align well with the information given, but I will have to see. One thing that is making me doubtful, however, is that I am having difficulty relating to Autism subreddits in some ways. For example: missing shifts in tone or emotion. I generally tend to miss them, but in a completely different manner through over-analyzing, even sometimes attributing malice.

With that, I wanted to get insight on not just those with just Autism, but also with OCD to see how I align. How are your struggles or difficulties? Habits? Are you introverted, and if you are, how do you do with new relationships (like are you hyper-vigilant of social cues/tone)? Anything I need to know in case I am diagnosed the same?
