This brother was a philosopher and I don't like his philosophy.

Never changing your diet and daily habits feels more like an OCD thing, but they do overlap in symptoms and the point stands

I guess it could just as easily be autism, assuming they are not overlapping spectra; OCD, ADHD, and Autism are all associated with obsessive fixation, but people with OCD in particular are extremely susceptible to superstitions and compulsions; feeling like they MUST do something. Things have to be a certain way, and if they are not a certain way, bad things will happen.
