Former NBA Star Tony Snell Diagnosed with Autism at 31, Says Diagnosis Made His Life Make Sense

Tony Snell, a veteran NBA player, was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at age 31 after his son received the same diagnosis.
Snell believes if he had been diagnosed earlier, it may have hindered his ability to achieve his dream of playing in the NBA due to the stigma surrounding autism at the time.
After being diagnosed, Snell felt relieved to finally understand why he always felt different.
Snell wants to support his son and be a role model showing that people with autism can accomplish great things.
Snell has played for several NBA teams over nine seasons and now plays in the NBA G League.
