Tony Snell, ex-NBA player, diagnosed with autism at 31 after son's diagnosis.

Former NBA player Tony Snell has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at the age of 31, after his son was diagnosed with the condition. Snell, who played in the NBA for nine seasons, said the diagnosis explained why he had always felt different and struggled to make personal connections. He believes he may not have reached the same heights in his career if he had known of his diagnosis sooner. Snell is now raising awareness about autism, particularly in the black community, and has partnered with Special Olympics to expand access to autism testing in inner cities.
