ASD or OCD: Don't like drinking what's left at bottom of container. (Milk, creamer, etc)

Half joke half for real curious of opinions. I joke because there is a lot of overlap between ocd and asd that I don't expect a legit science backed answer. However people's experience and interpretation would be interesting.

I have been diagnosed (late) with aspergers and now a few years later OCD. yay. I often struggle to identify whats OCD (I should challenge) and ASD (I should be more flexible with myself) My wife gave me a hard time after all these years that she can't understand why I will open a new creamer, milk, mustard container, etc. rather than finish whats in the bottle. I told her I don't think it's ocd. I've done this since I was like 8.

I took it to my therapist who laughed. She also has Aspergers and she shared she does the same. Now that doesn't mean it's not OCD, just that it's kind of funny and she couldn't be helpful in this instance.

Anyone else not like drinking or eating what's left at the bottom? Anyone with OCD find they feel it's OCD related?

Edit: Jokingly told my wife not to give me such a hard time. Other folks on reddit share similar tendencies. She replied: "It drives me crazy that you do this, so I started dumping what was left in the old jug into the new jug and you never knew the difference."

Now I have a whole other set of problems. haha
