I share what it was like stepping into the National Special Olympic Games in Minnesota and unexpectedly working as a basketball referee. The athletes’ hustle and sportsmanship reshaped how I think about competition, neurodiversity, and why referees deserve more grace.

• Going from chaperone to referee and learning on the fly
• Seeing divisioning up close and how mismatches create ugly blowouts
• The loudest moment of the week when a team finally scores
• Special Olympics basketball talent, effort and real competitiveness
• What refs actually focus on, including lead, trail and center coverage
• Why confidence comes from practice for players and officials
• Neurodiverse vs neurotypical language and the life lesson of sportsmanship
• Why I want more people watching, sharing and supporting Special Olympics
