You'll laugh and nod your head all at the same time.

BTW, what most of us are describing as OCD is technically not correct as per my daughter who is a licensed counselor with a Masters Degree specializing for the Autistic community.

Here is more clinically correct info from my daughter:

~ OCD = having an obsession and/or compulsion that
1. impedes the individual's typical functioning (ex. A checking behavior or ritual that takes up so many hours that the person is fired from a job, fails a class, loses relationships, isolates physically or mentally, etc.),
2. causes physical harm (ex. Excessive washing resulting in damaged skin), or 3. causes distress (ex. Horrifying intrusive thoughts).

~ Not OCD = having a strong preference, reoccurring thought, or hyperfixation, BUT it does not hinder normal/typical functioning (they can still go about their day, keep up with responsibilities, relationships, etc.), their safety is not in question, and it does not distress the person that they think/do it (whatever "it" is).
