Are any of you guys parents of gifted (or non gifted, for that matter) children with OCD? If so, how was this "identified" and what treatment, if any are they on?

My son was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and ADD a long time ago, but my daughter suffers from some obsessions (smells each bite of food before eating it, freaks out if someone around her is sick or "seems sick", worries about being late somewhere no matter how much time we have until we actually need to get there, etc) with not to many or any of the compulsions you hear about in people with OCD, by the way.

Oh, and the smelling the food is to make sure it hasn't gone bad, it's not like how Robert from everybody love's raymond touches the food to his chin before each bite :P.
