    Back in the day, before autism became such a commonly used term, I knew a number of people who would claim that they had OCD. They didn’t of course, they were not really obsessive nor did they have any compulsive behaviors. They were just really picky about some stuff. I sometimes think that some people will latch on to a disorder like OCD or autism because it gives them an excuse to behave in a way that they would otherwise be expected to try and change.
