Slide6Daniel’s OCD Story
Daniel was a perfectionist. He was always tidy, his books and videos were even and in alphabetical order, his shoes were lined up neatly against the wall, his pictures and posters were perfectly in line with each other and all his furniture was too. It wasn't just stopping there, it was getting worse. If he saw something an inch out of place, he couldn't rest till he got it just right. At the age of 12 he had his room just right. Daniel felt that if he didn't keep things as he wanted them, something bad was going to happen to his family. Daniel could spend anything up to four hours a day
organizing his room.
