Hello, not very good at introductions, so here goes.....
My Dad was recently diagnosed with Aspergers and it has answered so many question he's had about his life for years and explained a lot of his behaviour. I never had a great relationship with my Dad when i was a child but now i'm older and with everything we have been through since my parents got divorced we have become a lot closer.
When i was very young i was best friends with my (NT) mother and we seemed to have so much in common, but looking back i don't feel this was quite the case, comparing difficulties i've had in my childhood with social situations and expressing my feelings, to my Dads childhood, it is scarey how similar they were. At around the age of 15 things really changed for me as my parents started going through a divorce and i went from being a very untidy teenager to practically cleaning as if i have OCD, this has got worse as the years have gone on and it drives my partner up the wall 
After many conversations with my Dad about problems i have in life and the way i deal with things i've come to realise i'm a lot more like my Dad than i could ever imagine. My Dad says that myself, my brother and my nephew all show traits of Aspergers and he recently showed me this site and told me it's a good place to meet people that can understand how different life can be when you don't think like NT people.
So after all that babble.......Hi

Hi Crew86 welcome, being differently minded opens up a whole new insightful world, even if a little complex and/or extreme at times...
