Your brother could be wearing a diaper even if he's almost 6 years old due to incontinence or even for bed wetting.
Even kids who are autistic and those who are mildly autistic can take awhile longer to potty train and get out of diapers.
Is your 6 year old brother autistic or has autistic traits?
As for the pacifier it could be a coping mechanism, especially for anxiety or autism as I've known some kids with autism and those with social anxiety and other anxiety disorders that used pacifiers to help them cope even past age 10 years old.
