If I'm honest, if neither conditions really seem a highly probable relation for you...I'm not sure at all if either could be applicable to you.

The truth of it is that we all come somewhere on the autistic spectrum, every single one of us. Pretty much the entire population of this planet will look at the list of the symptoms and highly relate to one or more of them or slightly relate to 3 or more. It's more the severity and how each SPECIFICALLY apply to you which can lead to a diagnoses of an autistic spectrum disorder.

As Shanzy said, though...social anxiety and asperger syndrome do sometimes cross over with some of their symptoms. This is because one of the main issues with aspergers is social functioning. Once again, to warrant a diagnoses for either, the severity of the symptoms in your case must be taken into account.
