Should I email my psychiatrist to better clarify my history of intrusive thoughts?

(I don't think i worded this question correctly at all, or if this is even the right sub for this, but I just need to know if I'm freaking out over nothing or not.)

I (18FtM) just had the third session of my autism eval on Thursday and while we were going through the questionnaires I freaked out a little when discussing intrusive thoughts. I get really freaked out admitting it out loud, but I've had sexual and moral(?)(elaborated below) intrusive thoughts for what's probably been years. But when I went to answer what sorts of intrusive thoughts i had all i could really manage was my house doors blowing open and my dogs getting out which he stated seemed rational, and i was gonna say something else but i just got too panicky to say anything else and i let us move on.

By sexual intrusive thoughts i mean like for a long time i've worried that my brothers were sexually attracted to me, and i could barely interact with them more than in passing because I "didn't want to give them the wrong idea". That particular thought has gotten better steadily but is still present and effecting my relationships with them. There are more examples of that particular category but thats just the most comfortable to share. As for moral(? i'm not sure if this is the correct descriptor but it's the one i know about that fits best), a few of the best examples i can think of is my worries being perceived as a bigot/racist/ableist, And i end up fixated on my behavior and how others may have perceived any accidental shifts as a form a bigotry, as well as reviewing encase i said anything offensive.

So like in general, should I email him and try to explain it all better or just leave it?

(I think this was descriptive enough?? If not please just ask and i'll try my best to elaborate. SOrry for any awkward wording, phrasing, or formatting, i've been exhausted all day.)
