My Parents Don't Believe I Could be Neurodivergent

Guys, I am really having trouble with my parents lately. I have diagnosed anxiety, and I am like 95% sure I also have autism. I have sensory problems with loud noises, lots of talking, and just random things when I'm in a bad mood. I also shut down when I'm overwhelmed. I know that it could be a lot of other things too, but my parents don't really want to know about anything of that sort. They know it exists (I actually think my dad is autistic), but they just think "Nope, couldn't be my kids". and they refuse to get me tested.

Lately, I have been going through a tough period of being really over-sensitive, but my parents have just been making me feel worse. My brothers know how to overwhelm me and so they do, but my brothers did that today and I started crying because my dad was blaming me and saying "It takes 2 to fight" and then I broke down and he told me I was being soft and to chill out. And on top of that my brothers kept doing those things to me then laughing when I reacted. How should I get them to understand what I am going through? I say "I think I might have autism" but they never listen.

QUESTION

I know it's late to be asking, but if any of you have already been to this or something similar, what should I expect? Like what are the players going to be doing or how many ppl do you think will come?
