Guest guest Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Our son always did better during summer. He had less stress in his life and more time to distract himself with things he enjoyed, so they were able to distract him better. Plus he got more sleep. Whenever he got sleep deprived, his OCD would flare. BJ > > It seems as though my son is now fine.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 > Glad to hear that your son is doing so much better. We had the opposite problem--much worse in the summer, most likely due to lack of routine. Of course all bets were off when my daughter went away to college and all hell broke loose! lol (I wasn't lol ing at the time) Terry > It seems as though my son is now fine.
