Kleptomania

Is there a link between this and ASD?

I know how many mental health conditions can occur in pe with ASD. Likely because of all the stress and pressure we're constantly under.

I have ASD and so does my brother. Lately I noticed he's got loads of cds and books in his room and I'm wondering if he's got kleptomania. He struggles mentally and I don't see how else he got these items.

I wasn't snooping, he asked me to get his basketball and I saw all these things in the back of his wardrobe.

He has a mental health team so I can discuss this with them but he is my only brother and I don't to drop him in to anything, more so as I might be overthinking this. 

I hate being observant and overthinking things.
