i didnt know ocd was like that… just beacuse that little scratch of paper he can't eat it? its wild… just seeing that such a small thing bothers him, it must be very tiring to have ocd…
Out of curiosity was he ever diagnosed with ASD? It looks like your daughter was, I am autistic and this reminds me of myself. I was misdiagnosed with OCD at one point and the next doctor I saw immediately threw that out the window in favor of (at the time of diagnosis) Asperger’s
"It’s just being there, and wants to be left alone." 😂 this mom is the best! This is a really good explanation at his level to help him understand and learn how to move on. I'm not autistic nor have ocd but my psychiatrist said i have obsessive conpulsive tendencies. As an adult, i totally would have taken the paper off while eating, but for fun. If i was hungry or didnt feel like it, i would have just left it.
The way he grabbed your finger and sucked the chocolate off TWICE 😂😂😂😂 i cant hes so pure! But as a autistic 13 year old girl and ocd comes with autism i cant have anything lightly off the egde y able or i feel like something horrible is going to happen
i have had ocd for two years now. its very difficult… its like you always have those things that bother you. and then you get upset on everybody. its so mind controlling. its so powerful that you just wanna cry, you feel stressed, and overthink bout everything that could happen if you don't do what your ocd tells you.
When people have OCD never tell them that their wrong or stuff like that. Like in this case: if it was upsetting him that much, than just open it! Its not a big problem to just peel a little part off, you're the one who is making it a bigger problem. If You push someone with OCD it will make their mind think of more things that will Like (cause problems or smh) I'm not an expert so prove me wrong if there's anything I said wrong but that my view by what I know.
You are an amazing mom! I'm mentally ill. It's hard. My parents have dealt with my mental illness for 42 years. Kudos to all parents who care for mentally ill children. 😊
I love the dialogue. I would however, put the little boy on a diet of unprocessed food and work with a functional medical physician and have him tested.
I developed symptoms when I was around his age. Though my parents thought when I would get upset over stuff like that they thought I was being naughty. I like how you knew to not view it that way.
I also had ocd as a child I still do. Now as an adult when I watch I kinda know what he feels. I feel irritated and a lot which makes me feel I have to do something , and tink like this is not the right way it's not how its done, you ruined. I feel like crying and complaining.
All These so-called mental disorders only exists in Western world (typically in white rich privileged Westerners), while there are poor kids in the deepest jungles of Africa or war places like Syria, yemen starving to find a piece of bread to eat, I have seen poor begger kids in India finding a piece of food to eat from dustbin, just only to find this privileged white kid is throwing drama because the packet is not perfectly open, if he was a son of a typical Asian father, one tight slap on his ungrateful face would have easily cured his OCD, seriously it looks like wealthy Western liberal countries quickly develop alot of mental disorders and stuff while poor countries who have all the reasons in life to be depressed or sad about, somehow are mentally more stronger. (By the way, i also have OCD, but I take it as just being superstitious, thank God that I was not born in the west otherwise my parents would ruin my childhood by either (1) treating me with extreme sympathy just like people usually treat a disabled person (2) or by straight up taking me to a psychiatrist Who's only life goal is to take as much money as they can from the parents of these kids. and both of these options would only make me grow into a weak adult)
I can’t imagine how difficult that must be at his age. I didn’t develop OCD until I was around 22 and it’s difficult enough as an adult! The mom seems extremely patient with him though! She tries to make him understand that it’s not the end of the world, without trying to make him feel bad! My husband is that way with me!
O how I feel your pain … Just wait it gets more fun lol my now 16 yr old was diagnosed at 4 … Just remember to breathe it's actually harder for them than it is for us.
I totally understand him and her. I have those same issues with stuff like if I rip a paper towel off the roll and a piece stays behind I can’t leave it I have to rip it off too.
Oh my goodness, so many memories of when my son was little! These conversations can be exhausting, can't they? My son is an adult now and we still have conversations that go round and round until I convince him that it's ok to do something!
Thank you for sharing this. My husband was diagnosed with OCD as an adult; he struggles with managing it, but this video has actually helped him a lot. We even refer to the small hurdles he needs to consciously let go of as "pudding cup problems". Rafael is adorable, I hope he's thriving with you.
This isn't even a particularly likely scenario for many OCD kids. You get OCD about your own actions and perhaps a really severe case may make you picky about foil on a lid. The part that felt very unrepresentative of most OCD people was when the boy licked his mother's nail for the yoghurt. Most OCD kids are finicky as heck about germs from other people. So this is a really random example for someone to get 22 million views.
Excellent that you’re reasoning with him and explaining. Hilarious that he eats the chocolate pudding off your finger with that very concerned face 😂🤣😂
It feels wrong that she’s pushing him because it’s clearly upsetting him, but it’s the right way forward to help him in the long run.
This boy is so smart. He knows what he knows, wants what he wants . He's more polite than other 3 year olds I know. God bless him.
Oh my God do I have a OCD
out behind th barn
i didnt know ocd was like that… just beacuse that little scratch of paper he can't eat it? its wild… just seeing that such a small thing bothers him, it must be very tiring to have ocd…
Would love an update on how he’s doing six years later. Great job mom well done handling the situation.
Oh heck no. Let him get away with that now, and he’ll be even worse as he gets older. Eat the pudding or wait till next time.
Thank God We Had No Kids By Choice!!!!!!

Eat his food , he will never discuss with you about paper but fear of you eating his food Instead

I wouldn’t have eaten it if she put her finger in there lmao
In India he would get 2 slaps and he would be ok.

I would be upset with the child🙄
You are an amazing mom! I'm mentally ill. It's hard. My parents have dealt with my mental illness for 42 years. Kudos to all parents who care for mentally ill children. 😊
He is funny though
I think I have ocd
Wholesome
Try stopping feeding him processed crap like the chocolate pudding 🥴🥴🥴
I love the dialogue. I would however, put the little boy on a diet of unprocessed food and work with a functional medical physician and have him tested.
Dont give that kid food you that 😆😆

Why video something you couldve resolved in 5 seconds off camera , i know you wish to show the world but no .
He is so cute, I feel bad for him.

How is this lovely boy doing now? Has he overcome OCD?
DAMN LADY OPEN IT. DO IT NOW.
It wouldn’t have been the end of the world if he was at work and took off all of the paper on his chocolate pudding
This reminds me of the film where Asa Butterfield is a savant and also has OCD.
In some house holds of certain cultures …he gone either eat the pudding or not but he def. Ain't gonna be talking like that to adults …OCD or not
don't give that kid chocolate pudding💀 give him real food, meat
😂😂😂 he doesn't want even a molecule of that chocolate pudding to go to waste.
O how I feel your pain … Just wait it gets more fun lol my now 16 yr old was diagnosed at 4 … Just remember to breathe it's actually harder for them than it is for us.
So the process of this is to teaxh him that the world isnt going to end if the bit of paper stays on the top?
Give him a fresh cup wtf
I totally understand him and her. I have those same issues with stuff like if I rip a paper towel off the roll and a piece stays behind I can’t leave it I have to rip it off too.
I was like him before my mother slapped me very hard
Oh my goodness, so many memories of when my son was little! These conversations can be exhausting, can't they? My son is an adult now and we still have conversations that go round and round until I convince him that it's ok to do something!

Its good, so that his ocd doesnt get worse
Excellent that you’re reasoning with him and explaining. Hilarious that he eats the chocolate pudding off your finger with that very concerned face 😂🤣😂
I was so proud of him when he ate it. You did it buddy. 💕
