Greetings fellow Autistics. I'm an avid member of the Autistic community on Twitter and this morning of Friday 3rd September 2021 it was brought to my attention that a certain book found on Amazon is for sale called 'I wish my kids had cancer' written by Michael Alan about a parent's struggles with an Autistic child/children. He has even gone as far as calling ASD an epidemic. Needless to say that as you can imagine this has caused utter disbelief and outrage amongst the Autistic community on social media and I have already made Amazon aware and via customer services have requested said product to be removed from sales by of a very strongly worded complaint. I just wanted to make my fellow Autistics aware that said product is out there as a fair warning. If you'd like to complain on Amazon via customer services to request its removal the option is there, hopefully if enough people can speak up to Amazon to demand it remove said product, they will listen. I myself have found this very disturbing and triggering and has urged me to act. In case you do see it about on Twitter, I wanted to forewarn you of its existence and so you'd all be a little more prepared but be understandably shocked at the disrespect, disregard and offense that it contains. I cannot tell you how utterly speechless and overwhelmed I am about this. Its despicable and its appalling. We need to speak out about this.
