Frankly, you frighten me. However, I'm glad you're on my side :)smarmygalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03409155646907203665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198509439904574819.post-18628786798954994132008-04-03T09:52:00.000-04:002008-04-03T09:52:00.000-04:00No, OCD is not a spectrum disorder.

BUT MIND YOU: it's only a "disorder" if it significantly interferes with all aspect of maintaining a regular life. Thus, I (personally) have OCD >traits< but can function normally enough to do my dailies. Nicholas was dx'ed with a borderline anxiety (mainly separation anxiety with a touch of generalized nervousness) and two years later he's still working on growing out of it.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure Jack will be the freaky, scary teenager you fear he will become when he's 15, intentionaly, just to scare the pants off of ya. In the meantime, any quirks he has are just... there. "under its general definition, neurosis is a normal human experience, part of the human condition." And that's according to Wikipedia, so you know it's gotta be true. :-)naomic3https://www.blogger.com/profile/08389142329883158251noreply@blogger.com
