Recently, there has been a growing interest in the phenotypic, pathogenic, and pathophysiological overlap between autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders (OCSD). However, social competence impairment is one domain of overlap that has received less attention. Codified as one of three diagnostic categories in ASD, pathological social processing has also been demonstrated in OCSD. Yet, to date no reviews have synthesized the research literature on social competence impairments in OCSD, especially impairments that may parallel those found in ASD. The current review set out to examine the extant literature in this area in the service of advancing understanding of shared phenomenology between these two spectrums of conditions. Further, delineation of shared social competence impairments between ASD and OCSD might highlight candidate endophenotypes for further investigation. Ultimately, understanding the links between OCSD and ASD may aid in development of better intervention and prevention strategies, some of which may directly target maladaptive social processing.
最近，人们对自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）和强迫症谱系障碍（OCSD）之间的表型、发病机制和病理生理学重叠越来越感兴趣。然而，社交能力受损是重叠的一个领域，受到的关注较少。在 ASD 中被编码为三个诊断类别之一的病理性社交处理，也在 OCSD 中得到了证实。然而，迄今为止，还没有综述综合研究过 OCSD 中社交能力受损的文献，尤其是那些可能与 ASD 中发现的相似的受损情况。目前的综述旨在检查这一领域的现有文献，以增进对这两种疾病谱之间的共同表现的理解。此外，ASD 和 OCSD 之间共同的社交能力缺陷的描述可能突出候选的内表型，以供进一步研究。最终，理解 OCSD 和 ASD 之间的联系可能有助于制定更好的干预和预防策略，其中一些策略可能直接针对适应不良的社交处理。
