NBA star, Tony Snell diagnosed with autism at 31
Former NBA swingman Tony Snell says that an important diagnosis of his son led to the revelation of something about himself.
Speaking on NBC’s ‘Today’ on Friday, Snell said that he found out as an adult that he had autism after his 2-year-old son Karter was diagnosed at 18-months-old.
‘I’m like, ‘You know what, if he’s diagnosed [with autism], then I think I am [on the autism spectrum] too.’ So that gave me the courage to go get checked up,’ Snell told ‘Today.’
Snell said that growing up in California, he was ‘always independent… Always being alone. I just couldn’t connect with people on the personal side of things.’
While it may be surprising that he wasn’t diagnosed until age 31, Snell said that the news made sense.
‘I was not surprised, because I always felt different,’ Snell said. ‘I was just relieved, like “Ahh, this is why I am the way I am.”
‘It just made my whole life, everything about my life, make so much sense. It was like a clarity, like putting some 3-D glasses on.’
