I would like to have an idea to what degree I can say I am Asperger.


Seems to me, just say the truth. Say you've got traits of Asperger's, but haven't been assessed for a diagnosis (I assume from what you wrote that's the case). And, if someone asks, or it's otherwise warranted, you can say you think you qualify for a diagnosis, and/or say more about specific traits you have.

It should be possible to say something?

Like how the median or most people with ASD as a child are as grownups when it comes to need for sameness, special interests, social issues.

About intelligence, I just meant that groups at different Intelligence-levels perhaps can't be compared directly. But if you just look at AD, it is probably different.
