I recently been diagnosed with asperger's about a month ago and wondering if my brother could have it too. He's partially deaf and has ADHD and I see some symptoms of asperger's in him. I heard that people that have ADHD might also have Asperger's too. He's 16 and would it be a good idea to take him to a psychologist or psychiatrist to find out?

It's possible of course, but the symptoms you mention (you don't say what they are) could also be caused by ADHD or something else. The neurodiverse spectrum is vast and complex, and a lot of symptoms are common to several conditions. They present in very similar ways, but their source is different.
