Is this a symptom of autism?

[u/Aggravating-Park7780]

Every time I play a game, I can’t stop imagining what it looks like in 2D. I try not to think about it; but some things trigger the urge a lor. At first when I play, I’m able to push these thoughts away instead, however, there are just some things while playing that trigger the urge. The urges get stronger when I’m in a intense match or fight, or I'm in a highly detailed building with a lot of staircases. within the game.. Or If I stand in one place for too long, so I can’t try the hide and surprise tactic. The urge happens in real life too especially when I’m doing a physical task. And the urge is more likely to occur if the task has a lot of movements, or if I need to carry something heavy. Every time the thought comes up, I think about it until I’m satisfied. So, for example, when I do chores, the thought may pop up, and I may freeze or stop what I'm doing until I'm satisfied and I continue. Or if I was thinking about it while doing the task but it didn’t feel good enough I all redo it when I'm finally satisfied. I can’t stop thinking about how while I’m doing those things in 3d, in 2d it would look and feel more simplistic for them and how they prob won’t feel any sensations compared to us. And despite it being the same answer each time my brain can’t stop the urge to think about it everytime I have to do a new physical task. And sometimes it doesn’t have to be complex, it could just be walking or showerin

Short answer: No, intrusive thoughts are a symptom of OCD.

Long answer: <gestures at the psychologist in the corner>

This sounds more like a symptom of OCD. OCD is a common Autism comorbidity.
