Sheldon Cooper's "secrets" in The Big Bang Theory aren't deep, dark mysteries but rather quirks and hidden aspects of his routine and emotional life, like his obsession with the number 43, his secret hacky sack habit, and a box containing sentimental items from his Meemaw (Grandma). A major secret revealed was that Penny lied about finishing community college, which Sheldon kept hidden from Leonard, showing his struggle with social rules and loyalty.
The character, Sheldon Cooper, from The Big Bang Theory meets criteria in the DSM-IV for Asperger's Disorder.
Sheldon's dad, George Cooper Sr., died from an unexpected, fatal heart attack in the final season of Young Sheldon, fulfilling the canon established in The Big Bang Theory, where Sheldon mentioned his father died when he was 14 years old. The death, which occurred off-screen but was delivered as news to the family, serves as a pivotal, heartbreaking moment connecting the prequel series to the original, highlighting the sudden loss and impact on the Cooper family.
He revealed in that episode that he saw his father having an affair with another woman. Spoiler alert for anyone who hasn't seen the newest episode of Young Sheldon (Season 7, Episode 4): in this episode, we finally learn who that woman was.

Co-creator Bill Prady has stated that Sheldon's character was neither conceived nor developed with regard to Asperger's, although Parsons has said that in his opinion, Sheldon "couldn't display more facets" of Asperger's syndrome.
The narrative surrounding George's death is not just a plot point; it reflects deeper themes of family and loss that resonate throughout the show.
Sheldon definitely was grieving and he regretted not talking to his dad more or going with him on his dad's last day. Also, he became more withdrawn and isolated, something of which his family didn't notice. I hate it when people accuse him of not having feelings because he didn't openly show his grief to others.
The flush of red on his palms during The Big Bang Theory doesn't seem to be just an accidental hue or a lighting hiccup. Nope. The cast says he's washing those hands like he's preparing for surgery, not scenes. Turns out, Parsons has a habit that mirrors Sheldon's quirks: compulsive hand washing.

For Sheldon and Amy's wedding, the adult version of Georgie (played by Jerry O'Connell) appeared on The Big Bang Theory for the first time. This revealed the brothers' long-gestating conflict which stemmed from Sheldon's ungratefulness towards Georgie who took over the family after George unexpectedly died.

Ron is a guy who Mary Cooper was in a relationship with and was having sex with him which Sheldon could see through the window of his childhood home, which scared him. She met him at their Bible study.
But it's likely Beverly was trying to cover up her emotions to not be herself. What Beverly could have meant is that not inviting her to the wedding was an insult to her being Leonard's mother and not to her personally. As his mother, she has the right to be invited to her own son's wedding.
Leonard Cooper is named after both Leonard Hofstadter (Sheldon's best friend) and Leonard Nimoy (one of Sheldon's idols). Sheldon wanted to name his son Leonard Nimoy Cooper but was denied by Amy.
