Michael is Autistic!

Results of Michael's psych assessment today: Michael does have ADD/ADHD, but he does not have OCD -- He is on the Autism Spectrum. This explains a lot. He will give me more information when he gets home and tomorrow he has a psychiatrist appointment with his old psychiatrist, who also works with autistic people (good fortune).

That would definitely explain the sensory issues, then. *nods*

(I'm also autistic)

Yes, it makes more sense than the OCD. His sensory issues seemed different from most people with OCD. And his list-making and obsessive interests could be lumped into AS.

Aha!

OCDish qualities and autism can look pretty similar in some ways.
