as someone on the autistic spectrum I can say that it can be more difficult in therapy because of problems with communication and expressing how you feel and knowing what causes that feeling (at least that are my problems)
I have a therapist who only works with people on the spectrum and knows a lot about it, that would be preferable but maybe not possible where you live. I think it can be good to explain on your first session what you have and ask if he/she can work with that, if you have trouble telling write it down and give it to the person (that's what I do). you can together workout a way that works for you and makes you feel comfortable enough to really work with them. unfortunately there's only one way to find out if it can work and that is trying it for a wile and if you can't work with one try another. I know its very difficult but in the end worth it.
