"Autism Leads to Baldness?
Well, it does when you have the sort of motivation that Jacqui McPherson has":

misleading title on that,am thought it was saying autism causes baldness.


the lady is brave for shaving her very long hair off,is not something am could do in one go like that.
so AFF will be getting a better server from it,maybe WPers could do the same sort of thing for WP?
a cancer service is also getting funding from it,that is a lot of people affected by just one person getting their hair cut.


am have been meaning to make a thread about a similar topic [though more to do with the title than what it actually is about].

I like the idea of doing something similar for WP, but not chopping off hair.
