diagnosis

I think your older brother has to come to terms with it himself before he approaches the idea of diagnosis.

Many adults feel that being diagnosed will adversely affect their careers. I have a friend in a similar position who feels that her employer would be unsupportive of having an autistic employee.

For my friend realising that she is probably autistic adhd as well as knowing she is OCD is helping her understand her children more and push for assessment of her kids.

She doesn't want assessing herself and she doesn't really want other people to know. As a recently diagnosed adult I find that quite hard to understand but I have to accept that's what she wishes and let her do it her way. All you can do is be there for your brother if and when he realises that he may be autistic. It sucks I know and I'm sorry.
