Anyone here live in the Orlando/Kissimmee area of Florida?

I found that the organization mentioned will have an event at Disney World. There will be a marathon on January 9 and 10. On the 9th the route will be 13 miles, the day after the full 26.

I'm posting this message because the "love" that most people here at this website have for Autism Speaks. Just thought I would give them the "heads up" just in case they would want to organize a protest. If you should let me know, please.

By the way does anyone know of any resources in this area for an elderly (60) Aspie? Also does anyone live here?

I'd love to be at the protest, but I can't affort the plane tickets. Perhaps I could make a youtube video, telling Autism Speaks, what I think of their next gimmick, would be more feasable for me, and I have nothing but nasty things to say to them. :twisted:

Unfortunately, I know of very few resources for autistic people in Florida, P.S.A. Florida only taxes and takes from the poor. It does very little to actually help them.
