Guest guest Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 I just joined today. I joined this group because I need some help. I feel like pulling my hair out some days. I have a seven year old son and a two(next month) year old daughter. I believe both of them have OCD. My son has always had some strange quirks about him but I didn't think that much about it as I have some strange quirks about me as well. The begining of this year my son was diagnosed with ODD and ADHD. He is on meds for this and it helps. This past weekend he was folding his clothes and they had to be perfect ie. the corner of the shirt had to be lined up and touching and if they didn't he would refold it. He spent about an hour folding ten pieces of clothing. He then took one of two stacks of clothes to his room to put away. After about 30 mins he still had not come out of his room to get the other stack so I went to his room to check on him. To my surprise he had taken ALL of the clothes out of his dresser and was refolding and and restacking everything. I asked him what he was doing and he replied with, " I don't know how my dresser got messy but it did so I am rearranging it. " Then two days later we had a PTO meeting at his school and His teacher told me that he is having a problem finishing his work. She explained to me that he worked on one word for five mins. He was erasing and rewriting everything becauce it wasn't perfect to him. She said she told him that his work was great and that he writes better than she does sometimes and that still was not good enough for him. I am sorry this is so long but I wanted to give the full picture of my situation. Is this OCD and should I get him help from his Therapist for this issue?
