What kind of asshole does this

Someone who believes they are a good mother just because they have a special needs child. Someone who fishes for praise, and deflects any criticism. Someone who doesn’t actually have the best intentions, but always has to be right. Someone who expects free handouts. Someone who has such disregard for their child, that they might as well see that child as a fucking chair.

I dunnoh. No context. People with disabilities are still people. Some are more or less sensitive or pragmatic than others. When I was in a wheel chair for awhile I’d let friends or family take a seat on/with me. There’s nowhere to sit, I have a chair, doesn’t kill me to share it. Often people with crutches let others “play around” with their crutches. Friends may even hide them or shake them etc. it just depends on the people involved. It looks like this kid likely has an issue that effects other functions too- having never met them I don’t know how cognizant they are or how ok with this they’d be. If the kid isn’t cognizant then it’s wrong. Treating a non responsive person like furniture is disrespectful. But I don’t have the details of this person and incident to condone or condemn.
