No, its part of her thing...she has to see everything...and its small quantities also...she eats about a tablespoon of each thing...and her meats are half portions....i don't put much on her plate...and this is just one example of her condition anyway, but its basically this way in every aspect of her life. She has to have a separate utensil and everything....its frustrating for me, but if I don't fix things a certain way she has difficulty and often cant force herself to physically participate...I had always heard that OCD could be physically restraining, but this is different than what I ever expected.
