Things have to be done just so. They're excessivly concerned with order.

I said that I didn't envy anyone with ADD who have problems with organization who have to live with a parent with OCPD. It's a recipe for chaos in the family.


OCD has to do with things like washing your hands over and over.. or having unwelcome thoughts like feeling like you just ran over somone.

List could be a type A but most type As aren't as concerend with order to the degree he is.
