About Us

Autism In Motorsports (AIM) was formed by four friends Paul Ward, Mark Firm, Craig Tatham and Mark Dalrymple have resigned and left AIM to pursue other sports/interests. On 18th Feb 2024, Graham Deacon and Simon Palmer have both enrolled and become Directors to Autism In Motorsports and we all look forward to moving AIM further on. The reason behind this was to Encourage more people with autism in to motorsports and promote the starting point in karting. Karting is the grass root level for most motorsports and people progress from here into many other motorsports. AIM was a passion of Paul Ward, his son Anthony Ward has Autism and ADHD and found that karting helped Anthony in many ways. These include Awareness of dangers, Interaction, Learning, Outgoing to say a few.Paul asked for the help and support from both Marks and Craig and with the help of others the Facebook Group was formed. Mark Firmin has continued to Support AIM at the very core and along with Paul, built AIM to what it is now. AIM has enlisted the help from many others in the motorsports sector to help promote AIM and most with children with Autism. AIM will shortly be expanding with the formal launch of the AIM Race Team, a race team of owner drivers who want to make a difference. Autism in Motorsports will soon launch it’s subsidiary/sister company to sell merchandise, karting parts and equipment. All the profits from this company go to AIM to help other low income families who have children with Autism, ADHD and Similar Conditions. The reason behind this was to Encourage more people with autism in to motorsports and promote the starting point in karting.
