Hi all!!
I have a lovely twelve year old son who is in the process of diagnosis for OCD. He has always been a worrier and since the age of about five or six years old shown signs and liked routine. At Xmas he witnessed his brother get head butted from a man on his school bus which absolutely terrified him, since then he has slowly starting rituals till he has got a few going at once, he has verbal rituals as well as placing and checking ones. He has to ask if anything bad is going to happen to anyone in our family including him and the dog Molly. Hhe does a funny blinking ritual, he asks if the doors are locked at night three or more times and checks under bed, he has to have shoe laces one longer than other, lines bottles up slanted, picks objects up and places them slanted. He goes out of the door and comes back and forth saying see ya. We aren't allowed to say the word bye. He does this three or more times before he stops and goes out to play. His fear is death and terminal illness and he can't bear to see the word cancer or see the adverts. These are my son's symptoms.
