State to fund a farm for adults with autism

The Foundation for Autism Services Today and Tomorrow has received its first state funding award to begin a farm for adults with autism in Southwestern Illinois.

State Rep. Tom Holbrook, D-Belleville, will announce the funding at 9 a.m. Saturday as part of the opening ceremony for Walk FASTT for Autism at Scheve Park in Mascoutah. The nonprofit group FASTT offers comprehensive services for adults with autism after the age of 21 in Southwestern Illinois. The group tried for years to raise the money to purchase farmland until a local family whose child has autism donated the 42-acre farm in eastern St. Clair County.

Mascoutah Mayor Jerry Daugherty will host Saturday's opening ceremony.




Think this will be something that they will run themselves? Or something run by NTs, and the autistics will just be given some jobs?

So now they think that we're cattle?

The later I would think.

If we don't even know the genetic cause(s) yet,  how do we propose to FARM auties?

Could be like night of the living dead (nothing implied at all but the concept of a massive horde), where the auties tool up, and decent, slowly and terrifyingly, upon the Rottenberg center, and either torture the staff, or eat their brains, depending on the individiual autie's preferences :lol:

I pick....both....mm..yum....squishy.....Amy, I'l save you some kidneys, maybe a couple of livers, but the brains are all mine :twisted:

WARNING NOTICE: The brains of people like that would probably be extremely toxic.
