I’m not saying i think anyone who played has autism I’m just posing a question.
If it was discovered that guys like Antonio Brown and Vontaze Burfict were autistic, would their league wide perception change at all?
My job and family has allowed me to come in close contact with autistic people and Iv learned ALOT about the condition over the last fees years and I’m starting to think a lot of autism is undiagnosed.
This isn’t a joke thread either. I’m not picking wild players and cracking on them. I think we all forget sometimes that these ppl are humans with actual human issues. Football is just simple enough to where i believe someone dealing with a mental or developmental issue could get really really good at it.
I had a friend in high school who was a linebacker who looking back HAD to have something wrong with him.
I just wonder if any of our favorites maybe deal with this and we don’t know.
