Yes, I prefer to be alone the majority of the time. That is not to be confused with all of the time.
Living alone for 1 1/2 years has taught me that while I do thrive in solitude, it reaches a point - particularly without a day job (daily interaction) - that complete isolation can weigh on someone even as introverted and Aspie as myself. I've learned to compensate by keeping in touch with a small circle of friends and forcing myself out here and there, though usually its just walks, trips to the store, or reconnecting with nature.
However, I also know the other end of it, like living in a home full of people, and then having school or work on top of it... It can be one of the most exhausting experiences and lead to a severe need to escape. Hence my life being so quiet. In such environments I'm almost guaranteed to lock myself up in my room most of the time; or leave the house to get away from everyone.
I prefer a life where I can sit in what most would consider an "oddly silent" home, and I still think to myself, "Boy, the world sure is noisy," as I hear two clocks ticking, the wood from furniture creaking, the wind outside, the distant traffic, birds chirping, etc. And clearly, this usually involves no other people around; or if they are, they're being quiet.
