[quote=Anonymous]Agree this can escalate quickly. It is pretty typical for OCD kids to suppress a lot of this behavior when they are not at home, but once the OCD escalates it starts happening outside of home. I suggest you do some things to tamp down what he is doing at home. You can't discourage washing hands before eating, but you can limit the time spent doing so. You can ask him to wait a bit before washing hands after eating. Encourage him to use the less favored door. As it turns out tolerating or indulging the idiosyncracies is just about the worst thing to do. BTDT. I'd also get an appointment with a psychologist who does exposure and response prevention therapy, a form of CBT. It will take a while to get in. The OCD may be mild enough by then to require relatively few sessions. But if it does escalate, you'll be that much sooner to an appointment.[/quote]
