What are your views on obsessive compulsiveness?

I think that's a misconception about Aspergers and you should consult yourself to see if that's really how you feel. AS is synonymous with obsessive thoughts but not necessarily OCD. Check it out on Wikipedia for a bit. I'd really urge you to see if that's the case. With me I've been known to be extremely permeable to the opinions of others. As a kid if a therapist told me I had OCD, I would have OCD. No joke, my subconscious worked against me to create another problem for me. They pinned all kinds of disorders on me and I had to work through all of them one by one. Don't stress yourself about it though because that can make everything worse :p. Just take your time with it and don't be afraid to question medical professionals.

^that's very good advise!

I have bad OCD in addition to my AS & I think some of my OCD is kind of a learned thing due to the problems I had since I was very little because of my AS, physical disabilities & other things & issues that people weren't aware of or understood. I have sever anxiety about making mistakes due to a history of making a lot & having problems because of it. I do things very specif ways because I worry I'll get fussed at, get accused of not doing it, get told to do it again, or something else bad would happen because I didn't do it rite or I missed something most anyone else would not have a problem with.I have other OCD issues too where I get thoughts & urges in my head that eat at me unless I act. The OCD used to cause me to have anxiety attacks but the anxiety hasn't been much of a problem sense I started taking Buspar a few months ago. I still have the thoughts & urges that I gets stuck in my head so I'm going to be starting a low dosage of the med Anafranil to try & help with that.
