You know those online tests are hardly accurate right? Don't put this label on yourself if you feel it's restricting. There's no need to start doubting your social skills.
For example, A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with AS by a psychologist. I didn't mind it that much first, I was actually glad since I scored exceptionally well on my IQ test. but my school counselor kept treating me like some full-blown autistic who can't even tie his own shoelaces.
It was harsh, and for a time, I did start doubting my social skills. But truth is, they weren't that bad, and there are very little things in life you can't work on. I worked on it by going out and talking to a lot of people. At parties, at school, on train rides,...
I managed to make friends, keep friends and score dates. So even if you do have AS, don't think that it completely ruins your chances of having a normal life. It's likely you have some points you should work on, but everybody has those.
Plus, it's an online test, they're usually overly simplified.
1. Do you sometimes need some time on your own?
a. No, always partying. ALWAYS. I love standing in a crowded place with music so loud I can't hear what stupid thing that mediocre-looking drunk chick is yelling in my ear.
b. Five minutes to Wapner.
If you're really curious, go get psychoanalyzed by an actual psychologist. Though I have to warn you: there's a reason why I don't tell people I have AS irl. Asperger's has a really bad reputation.
Ahh, I know. There's a back-story to this involving friends out in real-life and, although I overreacted, there are reasons why I did. For once, it actually is too difficult to explain because it's a ten year story, but it bothered me quite a lot.
Do you have a mental disorder/illness?

But thank you. :)
