I understand your concern with Asperger's being used as a default diagnosis for social problems.
There are many psychiatric conditions and learning disabilities that resemble AS so they must be considered in an assessment.
You don't have to go for an assessment if you don't want to. If you feel it will cause harm, then perhaps it is not worth it at this time.
Why does your doctor suspect you have it? If you don't know, ask.
