The company Adam worked for United Autism Foundation posted a message on there website that he no longer works for them because of the term he used on the show to refer to the children. How do you feel about this? He has no idea hes been fired due to being in the house.

well what term did he use to refer to the children if it was something disrespectful then he needs to be fired because he doenst take his job seriously he's jus there for the pay and when it comes to children with special needs they need love and care jus like any other child maybe even a bit more. if it was a word that wasnt disrespectful then maybe other matters should be taken. but him not knowin is going to be pretty embarrassing when he goes to work the next day.

In the very beginning of the game I think Shiela asked what type of work he did and he stated he works with retarded kids. Uncalled for use of that term as autism is not a form of mental retardation. Glad he got fired personally. HAPPYY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I honestly think he was only fired b/c of the media outrage. I bet you that Adam talked like that around his CWs and bosses before but they thought nothing of it, yet it was on TV and the media went nuts so now they fired him to act like they don't approve. I am not justifying Adam talking that way, I just think a lot of times people do things (like fire people) just b/c that is what others want. The company could have said "we will have a talk with him when he comes back and give him a warning" but NOPE! The media probably wouldn't be satisfied until he was fired. I don't know of hardly any job where you are not given a warning first. They could have told him that if they ever hear that talk again, he's gone. But no warning just b/c of the media? That ticks me off.

I agree with the company that he should be fired. It was totally wrong of him to call the children retards. Come on...it just shows he has no mentality at all!! He needs his A$$ fired!
