thread_title:  pronunciation 

message: There should be mention of Monk's lack of empathy and self-centredness which on several occasions distresses his assistants. In one episoide Natalie is injured in a car crash and he doesn't notice her obvious pain.
Despite his intelligence, he very much lacks insight into how his almost unfailing concern for his own needs impinges on others. He appears very selfish at times. 
He lacks patience and doesn't appreciate social interactions so he will readily interrupt people in conversation, including his assistants. He thought nothing of barging into Sharona's dates and becoming a gooseberry. On one occasion Natalie's daughter was in the toilet and he demanded that she hurry up because he'd just made a connection in the case. He couldn't bring himself to wait just a couple more minutes for the child. Most likely it didn't even occur to him that it was appropriate.
He is extremely stingy, for instance attempting to bribe doorman with $2, which he reluctantly doubled to $4. When Sharona paid the doorman $40 for the information, he asked for his $4 back. He made a big deal with Natalie, his new assistant, about how he didn't pay Sharona for expenses, and didn't want to reimburse her either. He expected her to pay for transporting him around, his wipes, his water, etc, at considerable expense. Even though a salary wasn't mentioned, Sharona was often portrayed as struggling financially yet Monk could be seen making extravagent purchases at times. Natalie objected to his no-expenses policy but he doggedly refused until urged to relent by Trudy, in a near death fantasy. 
Although OCD plays a large part in his personality, Monk appears to suffer many traits of autism as well, in particular his glaring lack of understanding of emotion, social rules, etc.

message: I have just blanket-changed all occurrences of "OCPD" to "OCD" because the sources I checked concur it is obsessive-compulsive disorder and not personality disorder. Do any sources assert OCPD? I do not understand why this article asserted it, except that Mr. Monk himself seems to exhibit more of the OCPD symptoms as opposed to OCD, but that is WP:OR from yours truly.
