For as long as I can remember and as long as he can do things for himself, I've wondered if my son has a OCD.
If I lift my son to move him to another area for whatever reason, alot of the time he gets very upset and when I put him down, he'll go back to where I picked him up and walk to the 'other area' himself. Also, he constantly needs to be first to get answer the door (even cupboard doors), first to put on a light, first to press the button in the lift, etc... I try to avoid outbursts by explaining in advance that he cannot always be first to do these things. And if anyone else manages to do any of these things first, he'll go back and do it himself (i.e. close the door and open it himself, turn off the light so that he can put it on...). I'm not sure if it's purely a stubborn, srtong willed nature or it is in fact OCD? Any help with helping me understand this and deal with it is most welcome!!!!
Thank you in anticipation! :-)
