Hello all!

Hello all, my name is Kris and i'm brand new to this forum. I've been aware of the site for a while, but wanted to wait for my aspergers to be confirmed, which was but one week ago! I still in total honesty have absolutely no idea how I feel about it! My own diagnosis only came about as my 6 year old boy was diagnosed earlier in the year and the peculiar traits cited in his diagnosis hit a little too close to home. I always knew there was some fundamental ingredient missing that seriously disrupted the flow of my life and i guess in time I'll just be grateful that i know.

I have many many of the traits mentioned on this site, especially feeling socially awkward. I'm very lucky to have the same friends that i've had for many years, though I recently had to move to 200 miles from home to a small town near Loch Ness in order to be nearer my son and this has given me some insight into how lonely the life of an asperger can be! This site must mean so much to so many people!

The biggest problem i seem to have is that my day has to be planned with such precision that it makes me feel ill. I have to write my tasks down and work through them one by one and if for some reason one isn't possible, it can throw me into the most unbelievable panic. If my rota at work is changed when i had prior arrangements, my head seems to fill with pressure and i have to really try to stop myself walking out. I find these feelings really difficult to articulate and wondered if anyone had any advice that might help? With all other traits, i've just found a way to make it work and no matter how logically i think about it, i still struggle.

Oh and what does NT on this site actually stand for?

Many Thanks
Kris
