Bobby Beevers, a racing broadcaster, became aware that autism was a part of his life when his daughter, Sophia,  was diagnosed with the condition in the year 2020.

What he only then discovered was that autism had always been part of his life.

Beevers is himself autistic and he believes that racing has helped him and is sure it can help many others like him.

“My wife Rachelle said she would love to find a way everything could become more accessible for those with autism” he said.

"That’s when I dreamed up Autism in Racing as if it had helped me it can help others "

From little acorns …… and now Autism in Racing is a firmly established, fully funded part of the UK Racing Industry being embraced by more and more racecourses.

And as such embracing more and more families who have autism as part of their day to day life.
