I read over all the Asperger's information and it sounds like I fit it like a glove.
Is it just my personality or is it aspergers?

I wouldn't trust that test. It said I was NT even though I'm officially diagnosed with AS. The best thing you can do is get an official diagnosis.

NT means neurotypical, or "normal". Basically it means your non-autistic. Don't worry, half of here didn't understand at first either, me being one of them! :)

Being AS or NT is based more on what you were like as a child then what your are like when you get older.We learn coping skills,some of us desensitize ourselves by constant exposer to unavoidable stimulations(lights,sounds,tastes,touch).

You sound like what ever AS traits you may have you have learned to compinsate or the AS traits are actually from psychological base and not neurogical or some of the traits may actually be depression,social phobia,anxiety and chemically based(though that can also be a co-morbid of AS)so,it's complicated.

Try reading the threads and see what you relate to and what you dont.Are you interested in knowing if you are AS because of any practical problems you are having in your daily functioning....if it aint broke,dont fix it.

Welcome,by the way.
