NOT OTHERWISE DEFINED

BY PETE ROSCH
I am not really defined by my OCD, but some days it feels like I am. It dictates my behavior every minute of every day. It is perpetually in doubt as to whether I am doing things myself, or because I’m compelled. Meaningful moments outside of spelling are few and far between. Every moment is permanently possessed by compulsions. But I am not my OCD. Nor am I defined by my diagnosis of autism. I am Peter Rosch, fried food aficionado, reader of poetry, lover of music, and writer of this blog.

Food Bonanza

Yesterday I gave my mother a Mother’s Day gift. I ate a bowl of mac and cheese. I know that may not sound like a gift, but trust me, it is. I probably have the most limited diet of anyone here at Mouth to Hand. I basically ate French fries and chicken fingers. Hallmark Moment:  my Mom has been trying for years to get me to try new foods. But lately the OCD has relented enough to allow me to try things. 

I am excited to report that I can eat noodles now, and I liked a meatball. I liked a hamburger and I liked different Chinese foods. I am making consistent progress now. Definitely another big step is that I am able to use a fork and spoon. The OCD really didn’t love utensils. 

So I may not yet be eating kale salads, as Judy suggested. But who knows? In the future, fresh salads may be on the menu.
