Unfortunately, stuff like that is fairly few and far between. Most people I've spoken to who don't know a lot about OCD still stereotype it as cleanliness and don't take me seriously because my room isn't clean. Even people who don't have it but are still familiar with it seem to use the stereotypes. For example, I have a friend whose character has OCD when they do not and he's very much the stereotypical neatfreak, though the friend does actually pay mind to the intrusive thoughts and such so that's nice.
