Hellion, does this therapist know you have some Autism? If you can only push so much and your stress gets out of control, then you may need to "slow down". If you are on the Autisic spectrum, it can be a challenge dealing with "stress" or overload, that is what happens to my Grand Nephew.
It important that your therapist be aware of this Hellion so she doesn't push you too hard.

She is aware, not so sure how knowledgeable she is though, and I don't have an official diagnoses I guess since it was just a therapist who came to the conclusion of that being a potential diagnoses, but yeah even things that really don't stress or cause extreme discomfort for most people can bother me like normal levels of light and noise which of course is further amplified when the PTSD symptoms are acting up.
