Guest guest Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Hi, my name is Amnesty, and I have one son, age 21 months. I want to know how young children can be dx'd with OCD, or if there are parents who saw warning signs in their kids when they were very young. My husband, his sister and mom, and my sister and brother are all OCD to varying degrees. My husband and in-laws are all on various medications to help them, my brother is mild enough to manage without meds, and my sister needs them but has not started yet, although she wants too. Things I have noticed with Rory are stopping to touch the same places on the walls in the mall, needing his animals to be standing certain ways, getting very agitated if he wants a toy to do something it doesn't do (beyond " normal " agitation), and other odd little things, like the way he holds crayons. In most ways, Rory is way advanced for his age. His language is around a 36 month level, maybe more. He met the kindergarten requirements at 16 months, except for skipping, lol. I'm a behavior consultant for kids with autism, so some days between that and my numerous relatives with ASD and OCD, I think I am looking for signs, or imagining a problem where there isn't one, but then my mom came out to visit us a few weeks ago, and SHE saw it too, so I know I'm not totally crazy!
