Talk:Obsessive Compulsive/@comment-24073182-20140306185256/@comment-7111766-20140603143008

I wouldn't say it sounds like autism, but this story does bring up one of my major pet peeves with the portrayal of obsessive compulsive disorder. I'm both a psychologist and an obsessive compulsive, so I get touchy about inaccurate portrayals. Obsessive compulsives know every reason why they do everything. The obsession is what causes the anxiety, for example if I don't check the doorknob three times, I won't be able to be sure the door is actually locked. If I have a different breakfast, I'll end up getting botulism. They are always irrational fears, but the sufferer always knows what the fears are.

Although I was originally annoyed, the end of the story brought it  together for me. The artistic license was necessary for the ending of the story and I have to say that I hadn't seen it coming. Very excellent creepypasta.
