In response to the OP, before reading this, please understand it's not intended as any kind of attack, I'm putting it forward in the spirit of a friendly discussion.
My take is, you don't sound insane, but the way you describe yourself doesn't tally with autism/Aspergers, it fits better with narcissistic personality disorder. They're easily confused, because both conditions involve issues with empathy. With autism, the issue is difficulty seeing others' viewpoints, with NPD others' feelings, if recognised, are not considered as valid as your own. So the telling part is the grandiosity and the drive to be in control of others (people really ought to follow along with what you think best - because your way must be the right way).
That's probably why your parents were concerned, because even with the best of intentions, a narcissist can cause harm to others. It might be best, when considering grandiose schemes, to listen with an open mind to other people's view on them. If two or three people are telling you it's a bad idea, it might be wise to pay heed, so you don't cause unintentional harm.
Or I may have got it totally wrong 
As mentioned above, personality disorders can only be diagnosed in adults. You're young, so what you're suffering from might be a perfectly normal mix of intelligence, naivety and enthusiasm. Only you can truly know yourself and your motivations.

This is strangely comforting
(I'm a pretty persistent hypochondriac w/ OCD that constantly fears all 10 personality disorders, especially clusters A and B). I knew that you couldn't be diagnosed with Antisocial PD until you were 18, but that doesn't really reassure me very much!And unless you get on top of it you will still need reassurance when your 46 , are you getting the help you need at the moment Stampy , are you keeping any secrets from your parents or Doctors , I think that was my biggest problem not telling them how ill I thought I was coz I thought I'd be put in a straight jacket and padded cell.

Don't worry; they know everything
. They just won't believe me when I say I think I have these conditions. I am taking 100mg of sertraline at the moment, and I haven't noticed a huge difference in the hypochondriasis, but the depression has lifted, which is good.

Do you think the hypochondriasis is OCD or autistic mind related?

Do you think the hypochondriasis is OCD or autistic mind related?Yeah; I’m almost sure. I was born with both, and it seems to be a byproduct of having an obsessive, anxious mindset caused by ASD. That combined with repetitive behaviors unfortunately contributed to the severe OCD.
