She replied to the assumptions, "There are so many children that are amazing and bright that are autistic and I just hate the fact that people are so quick to label a child autistic because they are different. Each one are unique whether they have a condition or not. As adults [with a] social media presence, people should be more mindful on what they say about people's children. There are real issues in the world and our children are a representation of who we are. They are our future. Let's get it together guys!..."
