Hi. I’m Kyle. I live in Arizona. I have OCD. My kind of OCD makes me really worried about getting dirty or “contaminated.” Sometimes I think that something I’ve touched might have a disease or some germs on it. And that freaks me out. I have a little sister named Lilly. She’s four. She always steals my stuff. When she was little she used to spit up on me, which made me really mad. When my OCD is really bad everything seems dirty. I get really worried about going outside or going to school. And I have to wash my hands a lot. Like, a real lot.

I have a cat named Pounce. He’s orange and furry. Really furry. Pounce is very friendly, too. He likes to sit on people’s laps and cuddle. He purrs really loudly. And he sleeps up on top of things, like cabinets and bookcases. He likes to look down on people from up high.
