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.
An article from this site.
One third of autistic people have a learning disability:
