      You can talk to your therapist about it but they might recommend you see a psychologist. If you want to skip a step, research the best psychologist and book an appointment. Give your reasons and ask for testing. If they deny it (which they do a lot sadly) then ask them to put it in your medical notes that they denied the testing and a reason why they denied it. This usually makes them backtrack and it's easier to work with them.

      Yes you should you should bring up the fact you have autistic symptoms and you think you might have autism although I think you have to get diagnosed with not a therapist someone else

      Hey! I just wanted to say that I saw my therapist today and I brought up that when I was originally researching ADHD I also researched autism and that I was curious about it. Then she asked me kinda what things I think I do/experience that fit the criteria, and so told her. Then she said that we can definitely keep discussing it, and it seems like I will maybe do tests or something. Good luck!!! It will be okay<3
