[QUOTE="Star*, post: 106145, member: 4964"] Terry, I still line things up. I thought for the longest time I was Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). While the doctor says I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) tendencies (mostly the anal neat nick stuff) I remember difficult child doing this too. Someone posted here not long ago about their child lining up things and having to take something from home in a back pack. I think what I took to heart from that post was that it seemed like it was a security issue. If the dinosaur movie came on the child ran and got all the dinosaurs and lined them up. etc. difficult child still does this to some degree, but with an adult it just seems like you are a neat-nick. Monkish I believe is a good term - like the TV detective. My closet is color coordinated, when I'm stressed I clean and organize as an outlet. My office has a carousel for pens etc and its organized, I know when a pen or pencil is missing. Although once they take something ONE time - that's the last time. If I have to go look for MY toys - heck to pay. Maybe lining up the toys just leaves the child with a feeling of order and a sense of making what feels wrong in their little bodies right.
