lol if were doing a charity for autism its basically sorta like mocking people with autism C-c so...

not at all. i meant autism research. there are plenty of autism research charities. and not necessarily for finding a cure for it, but to research and understand how it develops

edit: in fact, here is a link www.autism-society.org/site/PageServer?pagename=research_home

Speaking as an Autistic myself (aspergers, high-functioning) I think it sounds like a good idea. There are many forms of autism that could be prevented at birth, resulting in an increased quality of life for many people who would otherwise be afflicted with things like down syndrome.

However I think a charity should be done for an adoption awareness charity of some sort. They don't seem to get as much attention as those for Illnesses and could really use a shot in the arm, even a small one.

Also sorry I was gone for a while, school has been rather chaotic.

Please note that if you decide to suggest a charity for us to raise money for, first make sure they do or do not have a means of accepting transactions through PayPal. Doing so makes it easier on us to plan marathons, that way we know whether or not we can use their account in the ChipIn or if we need to use ours and then send them the money. You would not believe how much time we have to wait for charities to answer yes or no to the simple question of "Do you have a PayPal account which we can use in our ChipIn widget?"
