How do I speak to my GP during my appointment if I struggle to get my words out?

(I don't think this is medical advice, if it is breaking any rules I'll delete it straight away.)

This is gonna sound really stupid, I've booked an appointment for my mental health after it's been building up for a year, I won't go into detail but I am really anxious and also autistic, I had a counseller previously and never spoke to her, I am just wondering if there's any other way I could communicate with my GP, as I'm worried I'll freeze up in the moment and won't speak, Would they find it weird if I wrote down what I wanted to say on a piece of paper?
