This question is not linked with any disorder or a simple confusion, but I often read parents speaking instead of their children on the Internet. The have a blog and write things such as : "I am 4 years old, my parents are worried about me because I have Autism." and "I worry about my sister because she may have Autism too." or even : "I really hope I will be able to be automous one day."

I hate that, they are totally ignoring the feelings and thoughts of their children, and some people use that when they speak about their friends. "I am 16 years old and I am the best friend of OP."

No, you're not, you are just a guy who has posted a picture and claim the identity of someone else and you are arrogant to speak for someone else or to state your opinion through someone else picture.

I do not understand this behaviour at all.

I don't feel that's appropriate to do such things as speaking for a baby who can't express how they feel.

As for avatars, it depends on how honest they are about the picture of someone else. If it's someone who is of special interest to them and they let it be known quite openly or will truthfully tell people when asked, that the photograph isn't of them but someone they admire and/or even look like, I don't see anything wrong with it.

If they are using someone's photograph and pretending to be that person to purposely deceive others for the wrong reasons, of course it's not right. Why not just use an avatar they like instead and be themselves.
