Dominique Wilkins: As I was thinking about this, I felt a twinge of sadness. You see, what many of you might not know is that I have two children with special needs. My 22-year-old daughter, Danielle, is on the autism spectrum, and my 12-year-old daughter, JoJo, has spina bifida — and both of them have sensory needs. Going to live games has always been a challenge for them. The crowd, the noise, the lights, the looks from people who don’t understand their challenges. It got to the point where I had to stop taking them to games. I could see their disappointment and their fear — and the way people judged them and misunderstood them — time and time again. I didn’t want to put them through that.
