He still uses running to prove his worth, both to the world and to himself. It has been 15 years since Randle was diagnosed with Asperger’s, but he still needs the help of his friends to accept who he is. Randle admits that life on the autism spectrum can be difficult at times, but he says that the support of those closest to him makes it easier. Randle has had a long career in running already, but he’s only 30, so he has decades left in the sport, if he likes. The race is scheduled for October, so Randle has all of spring and summer to carry out his ambassador duties. It’s a day to start a conversation that will, hopefully, last long after April has come and gone, leading to a world in which Randle and people with ASD everywhere no longer feel the need to prove themselves worthy.
