People were unsure he’d even be able to ride a bike let alone get a driver’s license. Now Armani Williams is doing great things on the NASCAR stage!
This blog I wrote on Armani and my journey on the autism spectrum has been moved to our brand new Patreon page. You can view the full blog post here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/teen-becomes-27698170
When you join my Patreon page you can read exclusive content about my journey on the autism spectrum, news stories in relationship to different diagnoses, tips I’ve learned from job in professional speaking along with helpful resources to benefit our community which are perfect for educators, parents, family members and self-advocates! All the proceeds from Patreon will be going to charity to provide scholarships for students with autism to go to college while helping with our video series at A Special Community and so we can make our full-time job traveling the country to do on-camera interviews to give a platform for individuals like Liam here, a 10-year-old boy with autism, to share their stories within our community.
We often say it takes a village so we thank you for supporting our scholarship winners, our loved ones impacted by a diagnosis who are featured in our videos and our movement to make the world a more accepting place for everyone.
Best, Kerry Magro
CEO, A Special Community

I have a three year old autistic grandson who’s father refuses to get him help. I’ve read that autism must be treated at an early age and I worry so much about him. Does he even stand a chance in life if he doesn’t get help. Any advice you can give me I would appreciate. Thank you.
My son started racing Moto cross at 5 years old. He is now 21. Still races, announces at numerous local tracks. Well known as the best announcer in the area. Graduating in May for marketing and business management from tech school and will pursue his bachelor degree. He wants to be involved with Mx as a career. And is literally an encyclopedia when it comes to this sport.

My son diagnosed ASD at 10yrs old became the #2 OLineman in the state and received 19 Division 1 football scholarship offers. 4yr varsity starter, 4yr all,league, 3 time lineman of the year, 4yr all city etc…Decided on a Division 2 school with his old high school coach being the head coach at the college.
