"Worse" is a subjective measure, and there is no answer for this. ADD, Attention Deficit Disorder can be a difficult condition to live with. Adding Hyperactivity Disorder to it only makes it worse. Obsessive/Compulsive Disorder is a completely different matter and bears no comparison to ADD or ADHD.

My son has Aspergers Syndrome (a form of autism), he also has OCD and ADHD. It was relatively easy to deal with ADHD when he was a child because there are some good medications to help. The ADHD has become less of a concern as he is now 29 (there is no school to deal with). OCD is extremely different from one person to the next; his is moderate (counting constantly using motions of fingers and toes). He is not even aware that he is counting. The OCD does not inhibit his daily activities. The autism is the hardest to deal with because it is so pervasive (it affects all aspects of life). We cannot make changes to the house, schedules, etc. without it throwing him off. The Christmas holidays are terrible because the change in music on the radio, change in TV programming, displays changing in stores, putting up a Christmas tree and decorations are all something he has to deal with. Christmas usually results in severe depression. This is the hardest for the family as a whole to deal with. Medication is somewhat helpful but there are also some bad side effects. Hope this helps.
