I eat quite quickly but it can take me ages to perform tasks that others complete in next to no time.<br /> I've tended to put this down to my 'perfectionist'/ OCD tendencies, feeling lethargic (I'm a bit prone to iron deficiency and sometimes have problems sleeping) and my tendency to daydream.</p> <p>Has your son identified and explained the reasons why it takes him so long to eat etc? Perhaps he has a very specific 'routine' that he feels compelled to follow? (the rituals associated with OCD can slow people down considerably). Also, is he receiving any help with his condition? </p> http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/topic/primary-obsessional-slowness-in-teenager#post-47463 Tue, 16 Nov 2010 23:44:54 +0000 Ella 47463@http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/ <p>MEEEEEEE!!!!

Also by replying to you it will push this to the top of the discussion list again and perhaps someone who is able to assist will see the post.</p> <p>Best wishes<br /> Trudy </p> http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/topic/primary-obsessional-slowness-in-teenager#post-37402 Mon, 25 Jan 2010 22:26:38 +0000 graemersmith 37402@http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/ <p>Has anyone had any experience of primary obsessional slowness. My teenage son has this, and can take 3 hours to eat a meal. It drives us crazy!! </p>
