uodsp: FW: Innovative Housing Prize Challenge for Adults with Autism

[finchb]

I am so beyond disgusted that this list would be promoting anything 
related to Autism Speaks, a known hate organization who misappropriates 
funds, has no autistic members on their board, wishes to "cure" autism 
and thus eradicate autistic people, promotes the abuse and even murder 
of autistic people in their videos and uses awful scare tactics to 
portray autism as some sort of terrible and dangerous plague. Seriously?
