My boyfriend 27M is saying that I 26F need “to see someone” for my communication problems do I?

For context I am autistic

Me and my boyfriend have been dating for 8 years and we are great together, it’s mainly when we have arguments when we have issues , for example when we get in argument he will ask me “what have i done” and then when i tell him and he will say either say “your being to sensitive” or “your being ridiculous” another example is the last argument we had and he did the usual he does calling me sensitive etc then at one point during the argument he said “I’m trying my hardest not to shout and you know how i can shout , please talk to me” he also said that he “has to suppress his feelings so he doesn’t offend me” and “he has to walk on eggshells to not hurt my feelings” the during the argument he says “you think it’s normal to fall out over something like that” and I say “I don’t know” and he said “you need help then because it’s not normal” he also never lets me leave during an argument he will block the door and say “no talk to me we need to get this sorted , you can’t run away from your problems, part of being an adult is having these conversations “

For additional context as well we almost broke up a few years ago because he would make hurtful jokes and when I would push back on it he would say “oh take a joke your being to sensitive”

I apologise if it seems rambly

So I suppose I’m asking is how I can deal with this , I’m happy to answer questions
