Austin Riley

Austin Riley is a Champion race car driver who lives in Lindsay Ontario, Canada. Austin has been racing since the age of 7 and is a multi-time champion in go-kart racing.

In 2012, Austin and his dad started “Racing with Autism” to promote autism awareness by sharing Austin’s life story at schools and events all over the world. Austin first met Anna at her Autism Expo at Brunel University during a speaking tour of the United Kingdom. By sharing his story, Austin has inspired many other children with and without disabilities to follow their dreams.

He feels incredibly proud to be an Anna Kennedy Online Overseas Ambassador and lives by his quote: “Just because you have autism, it doesn’t mean you can’t do great things.”
