April is World Autism Month and the ideal time to kick off America’s Best Racing’s 2026 video series highlighting Autism acceptance and inclusion within the sport of horse racing. ABR recognizes that autism is a natural variation in human neurology and understands the importance of valuing and including autistic people as full members of society.
European champion jockey William Buick shares his experience with autism as a father, whose son Thomas was diagnosed with autism as a toddler. Buick explained the process and journey of understanding — along with his wife, Jane — how best to encourage and accommodate Thomas as well as the importance of advocating for their son.
Jane is a staunch advocate for her son through “Autism in Racing,” a non-profit based in the United Kingdom raising awareness for neurodiversity and autism.
