Actually, extreme organization and attention to detail are NOT signs of OCD, they are just stereotypes, those are actually autistic traits. OCD is characterized by recurring, disturbing, illogical, thoughts, which is the obsessive part, and rituals used to rid of these thoughts, which is the compulsive part. The stereotype came from some of the ritual. For example, hand washing created the stereotype that people with OCD are germophobic or whatever the word is. Obsessing over routines and instructions is actually one of the criteria that can be used for an AS diagnosis.
