Do you have a doctor you would trust to explain at least the basic condition to your therapist? That might help at least with her understanding the actual condition. An intelligent person ought to be able to connect the dots after that.
I do have a disability - it's not really an issue in therapy, mainly because I've had to come up with so many ways to explain it to other people, that I've found it pretty easy to explain to her, and she seems to get it. It helps that, though I do struggle with it at times, it is not the reason I started therapy either. I probably should talk about it at some point, but there are other things to deal with first.
