Not sure what to do

Hello everyone, I've recently been told I may have asperger's, I'm 33 years old and have never thought about having autism and to be honest I never understood what autism actually meant until recently.

So my partner that I've been with for 10 years brought asperger's up not long ago and she said I think you may have it so I done research into it because I had no idea and it does make alot of sense.

I always thought it was everyone around me that was different since I was at a very young age, the things kids done and the way they socialise made me wonder why am I not like them, do I not talk enough? Do I talk weird? Kids always used to say I talked posh or proper compared to everyone else.

As an adult I just thought everyone's different and I just accepted that, I've always been pretty quiet and found it hard to get on with people unless they expressed an interest that I liked. I don't understand emotions I always thought that was caused by my depression and left it at that, I have learnt to help with people's feelings not because I understand their feelings but rather through experience with other interactions with other people in the past, I have no idea what they actually feel because I don't understand it.

I love crafting and I'm very creative, but I'm obsessive with my hobbies and forget about everything else and lose sense of time, my partner often reminds me how much time I've spent doing one thing, i do metal detecting and gold panning, I love looking at maps and researching areas to detect and also gold panning /geology, I collect rocks and minerals. I could spend all day everyday researching no problem which I can't since I have a family.

And yes lol I realise that all my interests are in life are solo which I prefer to be on my own.

I've always felt like an outsider looking in at other people's life's trying to understand why I'm not involved but I don't care at the same time like I didn't even want to be involved but wanted to be normal like everyone else to fit in.

Sorry haven't told anyone this not sure other people would understand.

I done the AQ test and scored 41/50 also

Thank you for reading, does this sound like I may have asperger's?

Hope you guys are having a good day.
