My son has a sort of OCD type mind, I think. People with OCD, I guess, have an overly sensitive part of their brain that sends off a message that "something is wrong here." So, it's hard to know if he's really making lots of mistakes or if he's "imagining" it.

I've never done the type of work he does, so I'm not sure how much help I could be. He's also unlikely to tell me the details of his so-called mistakes, because he has a superstitious worldview. He worries he'll jinx things if he tells too much.

It's just a really touchy thing.
