A Plague of tics
In the Piece of writing tilted "A Plague of tics" described the life of a male with OCD. Although I've heard of this disorder before I never actually was introduced to it. In this piece of writing the author lets you take a look at the world as a person who has OCD. The author does an excellent job with giving depth details for the reader to picture in their mind what the character is doing. Reading this article showed me how much of a pain it would be to be diagnosed with this disorder. As describe in the article, a walk home from school is even hard for a person with this disorder. In order for him to walk home he has to touch everything a certain amount of times. Then once he finally makes it home he wonders if he touched everything in the right place, and if he didn't feel as if he touched the phone pole in the correct spot he will have to sneak out the house and touch the pole in what he think is the correct spot. Which will lead him to start all over again from that point. I found this article very informing about the disorder OCD. I never knew the complications of this disorder. Now that I am informed with this disorder when ever coming into a interaction a person with this disorder, I will have more consideration and Patience.
