Dominique Wilkins: As I sat there watching that game on the Internet last week, I realized that the social isolation we are all feeling now — and the sense of missing out on the ability to enjoy all our favorite sports games and concerts and other live events — is something that my two children live through all the time. Like so many other kids with similar challenges, this is their daily life. So tomorrow, as we recognize World Autism Awareness Day, take a moment and reflect. Basketball will be back. Stronger and better than before. Our sense of social isolation will disappear as we rejoin our communities. But for those with sensory needs and disabilities, the world will remain the same unless we change it for them by increasing our understanding, acceptance and inclusion. So, on this World Autism Awareness Day, let’s promote autism inclusion by learning more about sensory inclusion.
