    Ep 89: Former Lobo, NBA veteran Tony Snell and wife, Ashley (TG 08.03.24)

    In Episode 89 of the Talking Grammer podcast, I talk with Tony and Ashley Snell about how their lives have changed since appearing on the Today Show a year ago, telling the world about not only their son's diagnosis with autism, but how it led to the former UNM Lobo star and nine-year NBA veteran getting diagnosed himself -- a rarity for an adult -- and the foundation they've started. Known in college as the "Silent Assassin", Tony Snell says his diagnosis at the age of 31 brought clarity to a life in which he always felt different.
