Autism can lead to its own brand of obsession, rumination and looping. It is different from OCD, but quite linked in some ways. Autistic people often have special interests and ADHD often have periods of hyperfocus. Often this is good to follow passions, but sometimes it leads to obsession.
Obsession with one's own thoughts can be self centered, which is hard to grapple with, but we need to acknowledge it is not our fault but still work on stepping out of ourselves to be aware and open to the people around us.
I recommend Rowan Ellis video essay about OCD.
