One can’t help but watch the Olympics and be in awe of so many talented athletes. Their natural raw talent and passion to win are both addictively inspirational. For two short weeks many of us find ourselves glued to the television watching sports we only watch every four years. We cheer for our favorites as if we’ve been through the grind with them all along preparing both physically and mentally for this one shot at glory. Talk about jumping on the bandwagon – apparently I’m a huge fan of mixed doubles badminton.

…and yet with all these elements, a video like this comes along and reminds me of what truly matters. How a young man given the opportunity to make his dream a reality, grabs the bull by its horns and turns an ordinary high school gym into a roaring madhouse, equal to the electricity felt at the Swimming Cube in Beijing.

I’ve seen this video a few times before, and each time I watch it I choke up - not because a boy with autism made six 3-pointers in under five minutes, but because on this day a boy with autism was treated the way he ought to be…...equal.
