Autism Awareness

I think this is a good time to reflect and consider how much of our field is made up of people who are on the Autism/Asperger's spectrum, and how many of them have been mistreated by the world's health systems, making them no longer able to (or much less able to) contribute to open-source and open hardware.

Look around you. Help those in need. (And probably start with Luke here)
