Since a lot of people with ASD have also OCD I was just wondering how many people experienced this condition..

(I did, when I was very little)

yep,mine rarely appears anymore,it was all stress induced by the horrific and abusive residential service had lived in up until four years ago,the specialist res. service am living in now is like a different planet in comparison so havent had any compulsion to do trich in a long time.

Misread that. I meant dermatillomania which is closer to my condition. Trichotillomania I never really had
