Thank you
You write:
I was ready saddle up my high horse, but judging from a distance is so dang easy.
Great point, always worth remembering.
Until you have been a parent to a disabled child you cannot know what day-to-day life is like, what options the parents have tried, or what the relevant research says.
One thing a parent of a disabled child can expect is to receive lots of well-meaning advice and criticism from those who don't know, but think their experience with their "normal" child gives them the knowledge they need to dispense advice.
We don't know what those parents have gone through. It certainly appears they have their daughter's best interests at heart. Beyond that, we should not offer judgment.
