Condition Where You Get Urges To Do Things

Post Reply New Topic

Like for example.

You feel the light switches in your house are old, you have an urge to buy new ones and replace them, not just new ones, but rocker switches.

You see that your Dad is using an older motherboard with AMD Athlon processor and DDR1 RAM.

You have to money to go out and build your Dad a computer becuase you love working on computers, you build a new one and you also replaces your Mom's old computer with a new one like your Dad, with even the same specs.

Anyone know what that condition is called. It's very common with Asperger's I think or any type of autism.

It's called wanting to improve things and it is not a 'condition'. You have clearly lost your mind.
In the context of your post I would think that you are somewhat materialistic if you do those things you mentioned.

It's called having too much money

Are you thinking of compulsions? OCD? Maybe you just really like novelty.

Actually, I only get $200 a month. My mom and dad get after me about buying stuff that I don't need and say I'm wasting money.

Those are some examples of stuff I did. I think of some more later.

ADD? ADHD? Tourette's? OCD?

OCD

Replacing older things that work just fine could be a form of OCD, I guess.

In suppose. Aspie does all kinds of things that seem obsessive, such and such..

If it's OCD it'd be because you were afraid that if you didn't replace those things that terrible things would happen. The actions wouldn't be solely for their own sake. There'd be a mountain of convoluted reasoning behind it.
