[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 280801, member: 3907"] Nope. You'd be Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) or Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD) if you had a burning need to refold the t-shirts, or if you got agitated at the thought of the t-shirts not being folded properly, or something like that. Funny that the therapist would jump to such a conclusion on the basis of one binder full of your difficult child-notes. Given how much stuff you have to keep track of, it seems to me that a binder is just logical. Now I have a lot of behaviour that could be considered Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)-ish. Soup cans go in the soup place in the pantry. All lined up, labels to the front, in order of soup type. T-shirts all folded and marshalled in the dresser, sorted by colour...etc. BUT this is because of Aspie tendencies. If I'm not ruthless in keeping stuff organized, then I can stand there in the kitchen for an hour, paralyzed, because I can't find the soup even though it's right there in the pantry. If it's in the baked beans place, I'll just never find it because soup in the baked beans place doesn't compute in my brain. I'm sure your therapist would have a field day with that, but it's a simple survival mechanism for me. As long as he's doing good things with wee difficult child, I wouldn't worry about it too much.
