I've read Xenocide, though a looong time ago, before I'd thought much about disability in any deep way. I don't have OCD, but I do remember liking that it felt like part of their lives, difficult but also mundane, rather than the text being all "LOOK AT HOW WEIRD THEY ARE".
Also, I can't help but think of The Speed of Dark and Flowers for Algernon as being like but also unlike Behold The Wonders Of Modern Science, being as they do examine (problematically or not) the personal effects of a 'wonder cure'.
*nods* While they fit the broader trope of tech fixing disability they definitely don't fall into the trap of the writers wanting to avoid writing a disabled character actually being disabled.
