- The ritual was always the same: he would hold the soap in his right hand under a running tap for a minute. Then transfer to the left he would repeat it for an hour.
- Then wash for about two hours before getting dressed. His mother discouraged it but then started engaging in his rituals
- He wanted Charles to have an EGG but refused due to stickiness. He had drug therapy and his symptoms disappeared for a year. he became tolerant to drugs.
