a short movie based on a chapter in David Sedaris's book NAKED, which is about a boy with major ocd. I did this as a highschool project for my senior year with imovie.

  • I did an interpretation of this piece in high school. Simply genius.

  • ahh!!! lick things too!! uugghh.. when ppl aren't looking. but not like a light switch and stuff..more like books pens and pencils..and then i have to touch it to my nose!!

  • I seriously doubt that someone with ocd would lick a public light switch, since most people with ocd are afraid of germs. lol. Good vid though.

  • Might have overplayed the naivety a bit... "we wear them on our feet to protect them from soil," and, "she likes to keep it dry" while the kid seems to play along. He might be trying to repress some compulsions but he'd still have an opinion.

  • This is beautifully done. It should be viewed by every educator. There is so much we cannot understand unless we are told by those who know. Thank you.

  • great I always loved this song, I have tourettes too, if you like see my vid's about it

  • when i read this i thought it was funny. the film makes it seem sad.

  • This is interesting and nice to see something that's not making fun of TS/OCD.

    I might be interesting to read the book.

    I used to have to lick things, but only very, very occasionally. I was usually fabrics I'd have to lick.

  • It was really neat to see this chapter translated to film.

    Do you have any personal experience with Tourette Syndrome or OCD?

  • that's so sad
