I don't think that's what the author was trying to do. I don't have OCD, but I do struggle with OSDD and a few other illnesses. To me, I think the author was showing how nice it is to have someone who is just there, who is present. This type of relationship can come in many forms. In Sam's case, it came in the form of love and AJ.
