u/Dangerous-Setting701

Hi,

I'm currently an amateur writer working on a book that contains extreme themes of a child-teenager with OCD.

I'm diagnosed with extremely severe OCD, and am currently basing the entire story of the main character, Arthur, on my experiences. However,

I'd like to hear some of your experiences. I do not want Arthur to just be a vague and narrow representation of OCD based on one person; instead, I want other people's personal experiences to be included.

This is NOT a promotion for my book. I won’t be linking it or advertising it here, I’m only looking to learn from people willing to share their experiences.

When I was doing the backwards digit span subtest, I accidentally typed in an extra number. And the narrator was really mean to me. He said, "That's wrong" in a condescending tone, and it made me upset, so I scored 70 on the backwards subtest.

Why is it so mean??? Any reason??
