My boomer mother has never been diagnosed as far as I know. . She is obviously on the autism spectrum towards what used to be called aspergers. Add in a violent streak, some narcissistic tendencies, religious extremism, and deeply ingrained racism to the mix to make it extra spicy.
I haven't seen or spoken to her in more than a decade but I doubt anything has changed.
I'm in a similar boat (E: things were always worse with the parent who would never seek diagnosis), cutting contact was the best decision I've ever made for myself.
