Hi, I've been counting the letters in sentences and making them even,in my head,ever since I can remember-I'm 58 now.I don't considerit to be OCD at all.I think it keeps my brain sharp and that can only be a good thing.
I don't work with figures-in fact hated maths and had a bad teacher in school.I learnt to do maths my own way and that works for me.
I have no problems learning languages and am musical too.Very sharp with crosswords to.
Don't be embarassed about it..............it's a skill!
