Hmm. I'm pretty sure part of defining aspergers is biological - specifically that there isn't a nurture explanation for it. I'm also pretty sure all of my difficulties come from my upbringing. Which is not to say they're any better, except that perhaps they are more changable in the long run, at least until better medications become available for aspergers. I don't feel like I have to learn social interaction rules, my problems are more meta. And I get way to much positive energy out of socializing.
I would actually say the same for you (that it is likely nurture not nature) - clearly I'm not in your head, so perhaps I'm wrong, but you seem too intuitive to be aspergers. Actually, well, anyway, let me back up: I think most people, if they examined themselves half as much as you and I are prone to doing, would see potential aspergers-ish traits in themselves?
