Respectfully, I don't think that's an asexual problem. That's an "other people being meddlesome and willfully misinterpreting things" problem. The reason other interests get brought up in relation to asexuality is because it's socially hard for non-aces to understand/relate to. Not because other!interests are responsible for asexuality.

It's a little like ... as a kid, I had zero interest in most feminine pastimes. I might tell people something like "I don't like dolls. I like dinosaurs." and this was meant to give them a clue about how to connect with me over stuff that I'd actually care about, as opposed to stuff they might mistakenly assume I'd care about just because I was a girl. People who took the hint gracefully got along just fine. People who tried to push me to express an interest in stereotypical girl things instead were generally being jerks. And people who concluded taking away my dinosaurs might fix my dislike of dolls (and it was so important for me to like dolls that they were justified in advocating that) were being intrusive assholes. In any case, the problem wasn't that I offered them a super-simplified overview of what I was and wasn't interested in. The problem was that some of them prioritized trying to change a non-normative person over succesfully interacting.
