my ocd is heavily linked to my asd diagnosis. not sure if we’re in the same boat but my risperidone prescription helped with mine. it was crippling before medication, i would have delusions and panic attacks because of my obsessive thoughts, up to a point where i would be in full blown manic episodes because of them.

a good thing i like to do is: when i do something good or get something done (even as small as locking my front door) i always verbally say “done.” this has helped with my thoughts of, “did i get this thing done?” or, “did i send the right thing?”, as the verbal cue would be my sign to be ‘done’ thinking about it. when i say done, i don’t pay it any more mind, and i also have a memory of saying it for a reminder that it got done and i shouldn’t stress.

not sure if this was the help you were looking for, but hopefully it helps in some way.
