That's a great interview. It's insightful where when he says that if he'd been diagnosed at a younger age, he might have accomplished a lot less due to the negative stereotypes around it and limitations people could have put on him.

Worth pointing out that there's a massive range on the spectrum - obviously a lot of people are going to have greater social difficulties than himself.

I'm not surprised Jimmy Butler hooked him up with this wife cause Jimmy probably should get tested too.

That man is relieved. Stall him out.

He obviously made it to the NBA, got a beautiful wife and kids.

Don't think this is a step back.

A project minded individual, criminal tactics
Us black kids born with birth defects, we hyperactive
Mentally sex-crazed, dysfunctional, they describe us
They liars, at the end of the day, we're fukkin' survivors

Not at all. It’s just not something that happens often. I’d need a few second opinions, probably was jarring at first

there are no second opinions needed to get diagnosed with it you have to take a psychological test done by a psychologist. you are responsible for the diagnosis

The fact he made it too the nba where normal mofos can only dream

light to mild cases of autism not that debilitating and honestly if every one was required to get tested there would be more diagnosis of it

The ugliest man on earth with braids.

Best of luck to him.
