An adult person does not tend to seek a diagnosis unless they are trying to understand and get a grip on something that they have struggled with their whole life.
Whatever the mood is in the room for this announcement, you should understand that your brother has probably lived most of his life feeling like he is not understood or accepted by the regular world and the people in it… in a painful way.
An adult person does not tend to seek a diagnosis…
…But your parents do, so you can lose the most basic human rights, so they could force you to be (at least somewhat) dependent on them and that they could feel superiour.
It’s not that terrible. And since I live in Slovenia, it’s relatively simple to just cheat around discrimination. I’m just worried about others in other, more organized/less corrupt countries with a more functional legal system (Edit: and also conversion therapy availability), who can’t simply cheat to their human rights. But they also probably have human rights there (apart from the US).

Bonus points for conversion therapy.
I don’t think that applies to OP’s question but if that’s your situation then I’m sorry you have to deal with that.
