My 6 yo daughter "collects" things like rocks, broken crayons, pieces of plastic and glass, anything small that she considers a treasure. We have asked her several times not to do this because she leaves them in her pockets when she puts her clothes in the dirty laundry. Several times she has ruined an entire load of clothes when a crayon has ended up in the wash. She was diagnosed with ADHD in April and we are still trying to get her on the right meds. Could this be a sign of OCD? We're going crazy! Please help! Is there a professional out there who can answer? Someone who is familiar with OCD maybe?
