<blockquote>"Big Brother" contestant who stirred up a controversy when he called autistic children "retards," has been fired from his job.

<p><br />
But Adam Jasinski, who worked for the United Autism Foundation, doesn't know he's been canned.</p>

<p><br />
He is sequestered in the "Big Brother" house in LA, cut off from contact with the outside world, in keeping with the show's rules.</p>

The foundation announced his firing on its Web site yesterday.</blockquote></p>
