At first he was denying it. He told only his wife about it. Then, after the diagnose, he joined a support group. People affected by the disease might hide it because they fear being fired from a job or that others will treat them in special way. I think that they are also afraid of changing their lives, and they may fear being seen by strangers as weird, as there’s still many people who don’t know about these kind of diseases.
