Ex-NBAer Tony Snell learns he's autistic after son diagnosed
https://tinyurl.com/prhz5m7j (ESPN)
Former NBA forward Tony Snell can thank his son for helping him learn
something important about himself.
Appearing on NBC's "Today" on Friday, Snell revealed that he was able to
discover as an adult that he has autism spectrum disorder after his
2-year-old son Karter was diagnosed at 18 months.
"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."
前NBA前鋒Tony Snell 要感謝他的兒子，因為這幫助他發現了一些關於自己的重要事情。
Snell在2023年6月17日出現在NBC的《Today》節目上，透露他在成年後才發現自己有自閉
症，這是因為他的2歲兒子Karter 在18個月大時被診斷出患有自閉症。
Snell 告訴《Today》：我心想，如果我兒子被診斷出有自閉症，那我想我也有自閉症。
所以這給了我勇氣去接受檢查。
As a kid in California, Snell said he was "always independent growing up.
Always being alone. I just couldn't connect with people on the personal side
of things."
Despite not being diagnosed until he was 31, Snell said the news made sense
to him.
"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."
After being picked by the Chicago Bulls in the first round of the 2013 draft,
Snell has since played for the Milwaukee Bucks, Detroit Pistons, Atlanta
Hawks, Portland Trail Blazers and finished the 2021-22 season with the New
Orleans Pelicans. He played in 19 games this season for the Boston Celtics' G
League affiliate. But Snell said he thinks that not being diagnosed earlier
in his life actually helped him reach the NBA.
Snell 說，作為一個加州孩子，他在成長過程中一直都是獨立的。
"我總是獨自一人。我無法與人建立起關係。"
儘管在31歲時才被診斷出來，Snell表示這個消息對他來說是合理的。
Snell說：我並不感到驚訝，因為我一直覺得與眾不同。我只是感到欣慰，就像，"啊，
這就是我為什麼這樣的原因。這讓我的整個生活的一切，都變得合理起來。就像帶上了3D
眼鏡一樣清晰。"
自從在2013年被芝加哥公牛隊首輪選中後，Snell 先後效力於密爾瓦基公鹿、底特律活塞
、亞特蘭大老鷹、波特蘭拓荒者，並在最後於紐奧良鵜鶘隊。本賽季他在塞爾提克的發展
聯盟出場了19場比賽。但Snell認為，他之前沒有被診斷出自閉症，實際上幫助他進入了
NBA。
"I think I'd have probably been limited with the stuff I could probably do,"
Snell said. "I don't think I'd have been in the NBA if I was diagnosed with
autism [at his son's age]. Because back then, like, what is autism? They'd
have probably put a limit or a cap on my abilities."
Ultimately Snell said he just wants to support his son.
"I want to make sure my son knows that I have his back," Snell said. "When I
was a kid, I felt different, but I can show him that I'm right here with you
and we're going to ride this thing together, we're going to grow together and
we're going to accomplish a lot of things together."
Snell 表示：“我想，如果我在兒子這個年紀被診斷出自閉症，我可能會在很多事情上受
到許多限制。因為那時候，會想自閉症是什麼？人們可能會對我或我的能力設下限制。”
最後，Snell 表示，他只是想支持他的兒子。
Snell 說：“我想確保我的兒子知道我支持他。當我還是個孩子的時候，我感到與眾不同
，但我可以向他展示，我就在這裡，和他一起面對這一切，我們將共同成長，一起取得很
多成就。”
