Nick is an accomplished swimmer, and won two gold medals at Special Olympics New York in 2019 in the 25-yard butterfly and 50-yard freestyle races, as Al shared on Instagram. The 2019 games were Nick’s first time competing. Nick also has a black belt in taekwondo, plays chess and basketball, and is part of the worship team at church, according to what Al wrote in a 2019 piece for Guideposts. Al opened up about having a child with “special needs” in his essay. He explained that Nick didn’t reach developmental milestones as quickly as other kids. “Doctors and specialists put him through a slew of tests,” Al wrote. “Was it cerebral palsy? Autism? Maybe it was a processing disorder. Now that he’s 17, I can tell you that, yes, he’s somewhere on the spectrum and maybe obsessive-compulsive. But those labels can be frustrating; they don’t begin to describe who Nick really is.” Al talked about parenting as part of NBC’s Know Your Value campaign in 2019. He went into detail about his relationship with each child, noting how independent all of them are, and said of fatherhood overall, “You learn very quickly that each child really is different.” He continued, “You see that early on, but as they get older and move into adulthood, it’s more apparent. And they’re always your kid: They might be adults, and your relationship might change in some ways, but at the core it’s the same.” RELATED: See Robin Williams’ Three Kids Now.
