How to bring up potential PTSD?

Hello all. I am suspecting I may be experiencing PTSD from a SA situation that occurred when I was a child. I am going to further discuss everything with my therapist, but feeling that my experience is not as "severe" as some others may have experienced is making me pause about wanting to bring it up.

The event happened so long ago, it is a bit jarring to have such a seemingly insignificant thing bother me so much now, considering I have discussed the event with my therapist before, but talking about it then didn't seem to bother me as much as thinking about it now does.

To those who have already or are working out their own trauma, what would be a good way to bring it up to my therapist again while best avoiding triggering myself too much? (I am in the process of potentially being diagnosed with Autism, so verbal communication is not always the easiest for me). Thank you in advance to any who reply.

Feeling like your trauma is invalid
