[quote=Anonymous]If the stuff about having things have to be straight gets worse you could consider Exposure/Response Prevention therapy, part of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.  There are workbooks on it like Talking Back to OCD and Getting Control of OCD that are great.  Good places for treatment in Maryland (not sure where you are) are Alvord Baker and Behavior Therapy Center of Greater Washington (specializes in OCD).  The singing thing--can you compromise?  Maybe if you want to sing, you agree to sing no more than 3 songs.  That way he can work on building a tolerance to the singing but know there is an end and won't explode.  If he explodes, you could have a consequence (short and sweet) when you get home, like a chore or short withdrawal of privilege.  The teachers thinking he's perfect may be due to perfectionism on his part?  CBT is good for that too.  Learning to tolerate imperfections in oneself and one's work.  Perfectionsim can build a lot of internal stress.  Remember school is ramping up and pressure builds stress.[/quote]
