Yeah, according to a lot of research, a psychologist, and pretty much everyone I know, I have very mild cases of both OCD and Aspergers. I've suspected something similar for a while, 'cause I know a decent amount about both of them, and this is stuff I have:
OCD:
Everything has to be in a perfect schedule in a perfect order in a perfect way. Every night I have to do the exact same things in the exact same order before I go to bed. My stuffed bunny has to be on the left, stuffed elephant on the right, and the blankie right down the middle of the elephant. Always.
A couple years ago, this was something that was really bothering me: whenever I encountered a semi-long word, I had to break it down into how many ways it could be divided into different sections and syllables, then sing-song say it each way, then count again and repeat it, and so on and so forth. It really bothered me, 'cause it interfered with my reading.
Aspergers:
I absolutely. Hate. Being touched. Even by my own family--if one of them touches me, I cringe. I can't help it.
I have an obsession with stuffed animals that most teenage girls have long given up.
I don't automatically pick up on social norms like most people--they have to be spelled out to me.
While I use it all the time, I have a very difficult time identifying sarcasm or when someone's making a joke.
It's Evie!
ReplyDeleteYeah, my parents took me to a psychologist, and he decided that I have mild cases of both of these:P But if you haven't been diagnosed with either of them, the good news is, if you have them, it's pretty mild:)
Now my head hurts.
I still have a stuffed animal from when I was a year and a half old.
ReplyDeleteHahaXD
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry:( Is it bad enough that you think you need a psychologist?
ReplyDeleteSame:P If I don't think about it too much, it's not that bad:D
