I have ADHD and OCD diagnosed. OTD accompanies those two and I'm possibly slightly autistic.
Its hard to focus on just one thing and stay focused long enough to finish the task. My OCD makes me do the same things over and over again and the OTD makes me obsessively think about things and often they are "what if" scenarios about hitting cars or dying, etc.
I've been picked on a bit for forgetting what I've said and repeating, for opening cans in certain way and always smelling my food before putting it in my mouth. Usually, its my little habits that people notice. My OTD isn't a visible thing but its noticed when I talk and just ramble on about a million different things at once.
I do enjoy being able to do things very quickly and it helps in some situations.
Everything will be good in the end, if its not good, its not the end.
