I took the 2 tests, both the Aspie one and the AQ one.
I was completely honest with every single question and these are the results:

Aspie score 155 of 200
Neurotypical (non autistic) score 57 of 200
AQ score 39 of 50

Does anyone know what that means? :?

Also i have Dyspraxia and i need to wear glasses with a strong tint of green.

That looks like you do have AS then.
As far as I know, the closer to 200 your AS score is and the closer to 0 your NT score is, the more likely you are.
I can't remember exactly what I got but I think it was similar to yours.
So that means you're likely to have AS I think.

I presume you didn't just do the tests for randomness, tell us abit about yourself - your personality etc.

I'm not dx with AS but relate strongly to many here. From what I have read, experienced and understand common (almost essential) traits are things like stimming, eye contact problems, social problems. I recommend reading the posts in the in "Getting to Know each Other" section to see how you relate.

Oh that's neat. You can look into it more. I like to think of it as just an interesting perspective on things, not something to worry too much about or panic over. So as you read about AS symptoms, do you recognize some of them from your experiences?

I think it interprets the scores on the test for you. The first one usually says something like Strongly Aspie, Aspie/NT, NT or something simliar. You should have also had an NT score on that one. The second one I thought scored male brain and had a scale if I recall right.

I wish I was more help. I understand about your glasses. I use amber tint myself.

A bit more about myself may help, and yes the test said very likely to be aspie.

I have always been a bit reclusive and prefer to be alone.
I absolutely hate eye contact.
I would rather sit on my bed thinking about things than actual doing them, as long as i'm not interupted.
I have strange sleep patterns and sometimes i dont sleep at all.
I have serious problems expressing my feelings and even understanding them and this gets me very frustrated and angry. Sometimes i just scream and break things i get hold off.
I dont like social situations or meeting new people, if i have to i tend to be quite and daydream.

Yes, it sounds like you a a strong possibility of having Asperger's.

I can't walk a straight line either and am very clumsy, even sometimes walking into walls. And I lose my balance alot. Though try convincing an arrogant cop you can't do these things sober............

Not dumb. Many on here have related horror stories regarding psychiatrists and other doctors. But those stories usually start with being forced to see one. I have a psychiatrist and we have therapy sessions twice a month. I feel I get lots out of it, even though she's not prescribing any medication right now (I go on antidepressants when we decide it's needed). If you feel you can get something out of therapy, I'd recommend it.

Maybe i could make an appointment to see my GP.

Im not sure i would go through with it though,
or i would not know what to say and get frustrated or something. :?

How would i bring it up?
Just explain everything to him? about the online tests and my traits?

Thanks for the advice so far everyone :)
