It's all been said already, but don't stress it man. When I get into a session with musicians I don't know yet, I don't shake hands and say "Hi, I'm Jarkko, your engineer, and I have a tiny cock." Sure, I might mention it after we've spent a few nights in the studio and gotten to know each other a bit, but if I don't, they'll never know my dark secret unless I pull my jeans down in the middle of a bass take and swirl it around like a wet towel.

Get my drift?

Well.. a lot of clients have acute cases of "Douchebag" and they don't tell you either beforehand, do they?

PS: Jarkko has a tiny dick!

LMAO. I love you guys

...naturally introverted (can easily be entertained on your own without needing others around)...

Yeah, that's the main point why we have so many "Aspis" here, our work/hobby (AE) comprise very much time on our own.
And I think everyone here really enjoys this(working alone).

Who wasn't in a "mixing-mood" and realized: "oh, I've spent 5 hours without thinking of something else?"
And in the end it was worth it, just because it was satisfying...

I love to be alone and get sucked into mixing or guitar-playing, but I also love my social connections, friends and partying, blabla...

As long as your "symptoms" don't have a bad effect on your life I wouldn't worry, if so, go to a specialist.

ruonitb is right on.
Lol @ all the people saying "I have a few of the symptoms and the more I read about it, the more I think I have it!".
I have displayed some of the symptoms of Asperger's throughout my lifetime, but let's not get carried away here.
No, chances are you probably just have social anxiety disorder like me and are also a naturally introverted (can easily be entertained on your own without needing others around)
Until fairly recently (start of last year), I had trouble looking most people in the eye when they spoke. I'd fidget a lot and look really nervous, giving the impression I'm not 'normal' to people. List goes on.

I've managed to improve on most of the things that social anxiety has held me back from doing and I've stopped being so awkward.
I may be an introvert at heart. I love spending heaps of time reading, learning about stuff and your average bimbo would probably consider me fairly intellectual, but I'm not really all that shy anymore and actually quite love social interaction too.
If anything I'm probably half introvert/half extrovert than a true introvert.
Anyway, I digress.

If any of you guys feel lacking in the social skills department/feel scared of many social situations, go get a diagnosis and and see a psychologist. There's no shame in it and it can only help improve your quality of life.

This. People who have the INTP Myers Briggs classification can have a good number of stereotypical AS symptoms without having AS. General social anxiety and the communication issues presented by AS are very different things. With social anxiety, it's like hating driving because you don't like having all the other strange cars around you. With AS, it's like trying to drive but you can't read the traffic signals.

Im guessing this is the reason for your amazing guitar playing?
