Karen,

Not to make light of anyone’s struggle with OCD, I thought I’d share a cute comment. My daughter (who is more in the “haha” OCD realm) recently found a “sticker” for her Facebook page that says “I have CDO–it’s like OCD but the letters are arranged alphabetically because I like it that way”.

There is a genetic tendency with OCD, so then your friends with OCD would have children with OCD. If the OCD doesn't interfere with one's life, then it's a quirk and not a disorder.

If the OCD doesn’t interfere with one’s life, then it’s a quirk and not a disorder.

It's all mind boggling, I tend to think it's the environment and food. I have been reading (for WAY too long) “Healing the new Childhood Epidemics” ..I bet you would really find it interesting.

So I'm guessing there were people who had OCD or other issues and knew how to keep it under wraps in public. Just a thought... I’d also have to say, we hid disabilities, disabilities were shameful.

I knew a kid who washed his hands until they were purple. He went to a psychiatric hospital for several months. So, I think there WERE kids like this a generation ago. But we didn't have the internet, cable/satellite tv, and all that other media publicizing it. When I was a teen (25 years ago!) I knew a kid who washed his hands until they were purple.
