I followed the link and it mentions children for the contest. I didn't see anywhere on it that said it includes adults.

"Now in its third year, the winery's annual art contest challenges children and adults with an official diagnosis of autism to design labels for its two "wines for autism." Bottles with the winning artwork will be available for purchase at the winery, and featured at a wine-tasting fundraiser March 31 at Gavi's Restaurant in downtown Willoughby."

My apologizes. The actual contest page does say children, the news story says children and adults/

So it's not the Wines for Autism fundraising organization, which basically raises funds for "biomed" autism groups, such as the National Autism Association (aka, AoA)?
