MI Healthy Mind is a 30-minute TV talk show with a focus on all things Health and Wellness, particularly in the mental health and behavioral sectors. Seasoned hosts, Elizabeth Atkins and Michael Hunter explore a vast range of subjects (addiction,
depression, bipolar, autism etc) with valuable insights and lively conversation from popular entertainers, experts, athletes, and other newsmakers. But most important, MI Healthy Mind showcases real people, “the heroes” who have
overcome and triumphed over their mental health issues. In the wake of incredible loss, or adversity, these people found a way to turn personal tragedy into hope.
“All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.” — Helen Keller
Breaking Barriers: The Drive to Beat Autism
Armani Williams is breaking the barriers that society has imposed on autistic people and shattering the stereotypes about the limitations that autism is ‘supposed’ to bring. As a professional NASCAR driver, engineer, and advocate for those with disabilities, he is challenging the stigma surrounding disabilities.
“We realized that the higher I went, we needed to figure out how to give back to the community.” Armani Williams and his family are committed to celebrating, not only Armani’s status as an admired NASCAR driver but also his autism in hopes that his fans might find the inspiration they need to reach great heights.
Armani is thankful to have the unconditional support of his parents as he defies the stereotypes surrounding autism. “It was a shock at the beginning, mostly [because it] was unknown. We didn’t know anything about autism.” Irena Politano was faced with a sense of uncertainty when Armani, her then two-year-old son, was diagnosed with autism. But now, over 18 years later, she looks at all he has accomplished professionally and personally and shares how she helped him reach his goals.
Mr. Williams has an important message to share, “Never let autism back you down from your dreams.”
