I've worked with a few people diagnosed with Bi-Polar Disorder and OCD. Most recently was with one who has to do everything perfectly. If not, she has panic attacks. I think she's gotten better about it, but still has trouble with that.
Somehow I see you organizing your children: Adam, Barnabas, Cammile, Doug....Originally Posted by Trouts mom
I must have everything in alphabetical order..anything that can be in that order, must be.Actually now that I think about it...my step-dad used to do that! And all 4 of his kids start with the letter A!

Anyway, I absolutely cannot leave a microwave if someone has stopped it early and it says anything but the time.
I do everything in even numbers, mostly 4, 8 or 20 times. And I've counted my steps for so long I catch myself doing it subconciously. I remember doing it for fun as a kid, along with the jumping over cracks (or I'd break my mother's back). I think that's where I picked up thoes lovely habits, though I don't do them all the time.Originally Posted by Graciecat
I have to touch every light switch three times before I go into a room and when I'm leaving the room.
I count every step I take...
