Hate to be that guy, but if he "often" got lost or confused, shouldn't someone have been following him during the race?

I agree. But that does not excuse someone assaulting him.

Yes. I have a son on the Autism Spectrum, and his sense of direction is also terrible, and he will not ask for help if he gets lost. Unless he ran this route often, someone should have been with him.

I suppose that would depend on what spectrum of autism the teen exhibits
