Nineteen-year-old African American professional race car driver Armani Williams is living his best life as the first-ever NASCAR driver with autism. His need for speed started when he was just a child; today, he’s making his dreams a reality.
Williams, hailing from Grosse Point, Michigan, was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2; doctors informed the toddler’s parents that he was nonverbal. However, Williams defied the odds by starting to learn to speak within 12 months of his diagnosis.
