According to the International OCD Foundation, studies show that almost all (in 2011 the percentage cited was 92%) of OCD patients also suffer from at least one other disorder. Among the most common are Autism Spectrum Disorders, which is just one reason why I'm delighted to be talking to Dr. Joanne Limburg on this episode, an acclaimed Cambridge based poet, novelist and lecturer at De Montfort University in Leicester.
Joanne's OCD and her autism, both of which were diagnosed someway into adulthood, greatly influence her work, and the relationship between the two conditions is something we talk about in some detail on this (later than intended) episode. Joanne’s 2015 OCD memoir The Woman Who Thought Too Much comes much recommended by this podcast!
