Generally people with ASD like to talk about their interest but generally not to convince people to use that information. It's just because small talk is difficult and not interesting enough, but people may disagree without it causing a strong need to "rectify" the misguided ideas of others.
Yes, of course tell your doctor about this and ask his opinion. But also mention how and why your interests may change and why you are interested in certain things. If your behaviour is really very different now than it used to be (maybe only days ago or one or more years), mention that.
