Condemning or judging then.

When a child is diagnosed with anything, be it a disability or medical problem experiencing grief is a very natural and normal precess. It does not make them bigots or mean they do not love or accept their child.

Actually you don't. First of all you a about a FICTIONAL character.. second of all if you do not know the parents or their child then you have NO idea what their lives are like or what challenges THEIR child faces. Just because you share an ASD label with a random child you do not even know does not make you an expert on them or give you ANY right to dictate how they should be parented.
