Many neurodivergent autistic individuals experience co-morbid mental health symptoms along with their autism. Travis experiences extreme anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder to go with autism.
In this book Travis details how OCD impacted his life and tells the story of how he found ways to cope and manage his symptoms to get his life back.
Travis is now living his best life and wants to share his story with you so that you can live your best life.
Once, obsessed with sex and unable to connect with anyone, Travis now has friendships and relationships that are meaningful to him.
Learn how Travis found a medication to help ease some of the intensity of his obsessions and compulsions all while learning cognitive behavior strategies to refocus his attention on other things that distract him from his obsessions.
Autistic people often have a special interest. When the special interest couples with an obsession it can become an unbearable perseveration.
Learn how Travis used to be so obsessed with getting a girlfriend that he paid girls money to hangout with him, provide companionship, and provide intimacy.
Travis discloses his gambling problems that he had in order to try and get more money to pay someone to spend time with him and make him feel better.
Travis shares that it was his OCD and not his autism that made him appear to be socially awkward and have poor social skills. That OCD caused him to skip steps in building relationships that we would often associate to an autism spectrum disorder.
Turns out, Travis has excellent social skills when he is not obsessing over his obsessions.
