Pounding the pavement calms runner with autism
When Kyle Krekeler showed up at the Mount Dora Christian Home and Bible School track in July to join a local running group, trainer Vickie Steuben encountered a problem. The 22-year-old Krekeler, who is autistic, would smell her hand and try to put some of her fingers in his mouth.
"I would get really freaked out," said Steuben, who has been coaching Krekeler since he joined. "But he doesn't do that anymore."
