Description
As a rising sixth-grader, the disorder progressed to the point where Maggie and her mother made the decision to homeschool. As an assignment, Maggie’s mother asked her to draw what OCD looks like in her mind. A few hours later, Otis was conceived.
Otis became the face of the disorder. More importantly, Otis represented something separate from Maggie. OCD isn’t Maggie, but now is personified by “someone” she tolerates. Maggie began saying, “Mom, Otis is really giving me a hard time today,” or Maggie’s mother would say, “I’m not talking to Otis anymore right now.” OCD isn’t gone, but the family found a way to live with Otis.
