Guest guest Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Hi, My name is and I have a 16 year old son with ocd. He is starting 10th grade, we have a 504 set up for him at his school and are looking into special education. Last year he started out with all A's then by the end of the school year he could not function. We had to break his day into hours--encouraging him to do what he could. He is smart, yet the stress of ocd takes over and homework is impossible. P.E.- he has one more semester- I don't know if he'll make it. If anyone touches his P.E. clothes I have to buy new ones ($30.). I have seen him walk the halls and try to avoid the other students touching him, he won't touch the door handles, other people pencils etc. When he comes home he is so stressed out that he will sleep from 4:30 until 9 or 10 the get up shower ( which is a big deal ) and then try to get to sleep later. Has anyone else felt like they have grieved the loss of their child because ocd has changed things so much for that child? I look and say what happened, where did he go, I miss you sweetie and mom has your back with an air hug. I look forward to hearing others.
