help on seeing if my aspergers "label" checks out.

I am 14 years old, and i attend a regular private school. i was diagnosed with high functioning aspergers at the age of 6. When i turned 10, i started being more self conscious of being an asperger child. i never have thought of having poor social skills, and am certainly not bad at athletic activities; i never have been, and have usually been the all star of most of the teams i play on. i am considered the comedian at my school due to my very cynical and sarcastic humor; most of my jokes are sarcastic. which btw is a total contradiction to some of the symptoms of aspergers. i am a very good at expressing sarcasm, and golden at expressing humor. i do not have a lot of trouble with socializing with kids, i mean yes even i notice i can be socially awkward at times, but i have always been an outgoing person. i have lived with this crutch for years. i have never had the courage to bring this up with my parents, because i believe they will think me a fool.
when i confront them about this, i would like to have many points i can bring up with them, and ways to help me or atleast humor my request.
by the information above, if you have experience of course being around apserger children tell me your thoughts, and suggest methods or professional help i can see to see if i check out with aspergers.
thankyou.

i am also 14 i am 15 on january 5th. i also have aspergous syndrome. i was bullied so much in school that i was taken out of it and now i am homeschooled. 33% of people with aspergous syndrome suffer from deppression  and i am one of them. also i have constipation in the bowls because people with autism can also get that. i dont like talking to strangers and i used to self harm when i was younger. i still do it but it is very rare. usually if i scream and self harm it is because i am in alot of pain. i am disabled. i couldnt walk until i was three and a half years old . i had a walking frame when i was younger. now i walk with a limp and when i was in school people were very racist to me and called me a penguin and a horse. i need an operation when i am an adult and when i have stopped growing, i have lax muscles, weak ligaments, flat feet and bow legs. please write back.
