Let me be very clear! Without the use of any curse words as you lose the reader (as many of your colleagues did with me).
The second I see a curse word I delete the message forever (it has no place in honest, constructive discourse)
Your collective ignorance, however, has resulted in you (and the rest of your small gang) absolutely harrassing us. Yes, it is harrassment. However, it is having the absolute opposite effect that you want it to have.
That harrassment (by a very few haters) has 100% strengthened our resolve.
You all have misread the book and our message of hope, by making an assumption based on a small excerpt (and a very slanted review) – plain and simple.
Buy it, don’t buy it, read it, don’t read it, none of it matters to you or us.
You and your small gang apparently will not be able to get past your short-sighted view of our wonderful story. It is a terrific story which resulted in the raising of a truly terrific young, autistic man and it needs to be taken as a whole, not piecemeal.
When the movie comes out, maybe you’ll understand better.
The more you push, the more we will push back and the more copies we will print.
Your small gang is having the exact opposite effect that you desire (i.e. of killing our publication).
I/We love autistics and all folks with disabiliities.
Which is why I find it impossible that you all are actually disabled.
WE WILL NEVER BE STOPPED BY THE INTERNET BULLIES!
Peace.
