I live with someone with this. I am positive they have it. They had signs of it when they were a teen. Things had to be in order always. Doors had to be checked 3x. They can't take too many orders at once. They have to do things step by step. They stay in their head most of the time. They don't express feelings of sadness or anger. For this person, my significant other, will not get treatment. They think they have no problem. They have one geer and that's extremely slow. They are very intelligent, but everything is done methodically. Steps are done one by one. It use to drive me nuts, but now I actually have learned from it. I tend to do things fast and I do make mistakes. They don't, because they are very methodical. My significant other even has a nickname in his family, Mr. point by point. He isn't offended by it. Everything in his life is ritualistic and no one can get him to change his pace or pattern. He is in a job where he is fully in control and doesn't interact with anyone. He loves it. His life works for him, because his live adjusted to his personality disorder.
