Wowza!

It's been a long while since I was on here, mostly due to my horrible memory, getting more involved with school, and falling back into my default cycle of social media, games, repeat. However, I wanted to try and figure things out the way I do best: talking/typing to myself!
I would like to ask my therapist about being autistic, seeing as I've created a Google Doc with various criterias and personal experiences, including multiple results from RDOS. I see him every 2 weeks, and after every session, I resolve to bring it up. Every time that session rolls around, I panic, and decide to let the conversation go wherever it goes (which is not a good tactic for therapy, believe me!). My friend, who I told I thought I might be autistic, has told me to try anyway, because if he doesn't know, he would refer me to someone, or talk me through it. One of my main concerns is because I don't trust him very well, as I don't bring up sexuality/dysphoria and the like because of my fear of rejection or someone not understanding what I want to say. So, as always, I'll resolve to ask him next time. I'll print that Google Doc, compile the results in an email, and start the session with "I actually wanted to say that I think I'm autistic"...
