You could probably just bring it up and explain why you think you should seek the diagnosis

That’s what I did before going for evaluation for something else

You could always ask what your therapist thinks about it, most people don’t have the same mental state their whole life so if you’ve been having new experiences that are making things difficult for you I’d go for it tbh
