My dad and grandmother - is it possible they had autism even though they were diagnosed with a learning disability

my dad had a learning disability which was diagnosed. He passed away at  the age of 57. His two brothers have epilepsy, one of them even told me he thinks he has autism but never sought the diagnosis because he feels like he "wants to get jobs on his own merits". He doesn't want support.

Anyway, my dads mum also had a diagnosed learning disability.

I have a strong feeling they had autism event though it wasn't diagnosed.

    Very Possible.
    My Son was diagnosed with ASD at 20.
    It did not occur to me that He got it from me until i was diagnosed 2 Years later as He put the idea in my Head.
    His Mum's side was fine.
    In answer to your question, i do believe it is possible.
