Girl in the Shadows: Dasani's Homeless Life

This is a long, 5-part article. I wasn't going to post it when I read it, because it is so very depressing in parts, but everybody else seems to be passing it around and I'd rather be a little depressing than very behind the times.

"An Organic Greenhouse Run by Farmers With Autism"?

*classroom film sound kicks in* These young men are using autism to run their greenhouse! That's right! Scientists have recently discovered that autism can be used to power a car! You can get three times the mileage from a pound of autism than you can from a cornstalk! Autism is as essential to modern farming practice as the John Deere tractor.

Gabe immediately says "Yep, all you need is sunlight, water and a little good ol'autism. Mix it into your soil just like wormcast and horse manure."

(We actually think this is a fantastic thing, it's just the "with autism" phrasing that... gnfgffnnggnf.)

Post it anywhere you like! I'm dang proud of that one.

[Sent this to our one friend and he goes "I'm gonna go out right now an' get myself a brand-new autismobile!"]
