we laugh now

Have you ever noticed how we tend to laugh at the fact, as adults that we are A.D.D or OCD, or "have issues". I am probably THE worst. I have tons "of issues".....
 Not "serious" issues! Just my own difficulties! I never went to any type of therapy as a child (prob should have)...but I've noticed, as I'm getting older, I'm so difficult. It drives me crazy.
Let me throw my issues out there for you, so you know what I mean. I cant list all of them, but here are a few that instantly come to mind...
I cant stand for furniture to be in front of a window.
I don't let my food touch on the plate. YES, I've been known to get several plates, if necessary.
I don't sit for longer than 30 minutes, drives me crazy. I feel there is ALWAYS something that needs to be done around the house.
I don't eat leftovers
I have to be snuggled up and pillows all around me at night, but cant stand for things to close to me any other time of day.
I only drink sweet tea from like 3 places.
The list could go on & on....I haven't even touched on all of my new found fears as an adult.

The point...???
WHY are we hard on kids with "issues", or better, why do we laugh at it as adults.
When I see how crazy I am, there is no wonder why my kids are crazy.
My oldest uses different utensils for each item on his plate.
He also builds "forts" in the bed, about 20 things piled around him. He cant stand to be dirty.

I don't take him to a doctor or therapist. Should I ???
I've worked with preschoolers for many years, I've seen very picky kids. I have also seen kids that have issues like, control, hitting, or even the ones that don't play with others,wont get dirty,wont touch grass, even kids that will only color with one color.

How do we know when to see a Doctor or Therapist??

I don't know that I have a real point here, I know with Price things are a little different, his health is involved. Its very important that we get the recommended amount of fruits & veggies.
But do we as adults??

Could Price possibly be healthier than most of us? He gets 3/4 Ensure a day. That's probably double the amount of good nutrition I take in.  And, other than eating,I look at Price's other "issues" as "cute, or funny"...or even stuff he will grow out of.

Do you have issues?? are they with Food??? or other things??
What about your kids??? What do they do that is "unique" or funny maybe even difficult for you to understand???
