Autism spectrum, mental health and football

[CKwi88]

Wouldn't be surprising to me. Ever since my son's diagnosis I can't help but wonder about myself and some of my behavior growing up and to this day. That said, there are tons of factors. Socio-economic factors, the player's up-bringing and repeated blunt force trauma to the head spanning potentially decades.

But I do not think it is a stretch that some of these players go through life with undiagnosed mental health issues. And sudden massive wealth does not solve all of one's problems.
