Erik: Autistic? — Page 2

Of course it isn't a stated fact. But someone with OCD may want (or need to have) all their utensils or food lined up perfectly.

Come to think of it, a very common habit of those with OCD is that they cannot leave the house unless everything is lined up just so. My friend's toaster must be a certain amount of inches away from the blender, glasses must be lined up according to color and size, etc. He has to eat a certain amount of peas balanced out with the number of pieces of meat, etc.

That sketch certainly does suggest OCD to me.

there was no reason to make the OCD assumption.

- Huh? Of course there was a reason to make the OCD assumption. Considering someone with OCD may want all their utensils lined up. Autism has many, many, many symptoms, the sameness/routine behahior symptom is not the MAIN one. OCD is based on the routine/ritualistic behavior.

I was not:
Implying that Monk has Autism
Implying that Autism is the same as OCD
Insulting people with OCD or Autism


I was just making a parody of a post on POL.net

This whole thing is stupid.
