Autism spectrum disorder is often comorbid with obsessive compulsive disorder, and may present with similar symptoms such as repetitive behaviors and rigid thinking. Therefore, it is important for Dr. Kelly to rule out autism spectrum disorder in Stephanie's assessment. Conduct disorder, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder may also present with anxiety but are not necessarily comorbid with obsessive compulsive disorder.
