haven't been diagnosed, but ... along with having to use the bathroom in such a manor,
when I eat a meal none of the food can touch another type of food unless it was cooked into the dish.. (i.e. peas cannot touch mashed potatoes).. otherwise I have to use my fork to pick the food apart.. when this is finally over with I can then start eating...
however, before my meal begins my ocd dropps in..
before a meal I have to align the edge of the plate with the edge of the table and put my cup (touching the edge of my plate) at a 45 degree angle from an imaginary line that runs perpendicular to the table through my plate... also, I have to have my fork on the right side of my plate, perpendicular to the edge of the table, touching my plate.. the same for the knife, but on the other side.. then the napkin needs to be squared off with my knife and the table edge as perfectly as is possible...
then I adjust the remotes so the first remote touches the corner of the table and runs about 33 degrees to the line the edge of the table right in front of me makes...
once these parameters are met I can eat and it doesn't seem to matter after I start where things are... just at the beginning..
It's odd because my room can be a total mess...
