I'm sorry I'm not being funny but is her daughter autistic?
I felt compelled to respond to this as your comment hit home to me, my son is 3 and i have felt since 10 months something was different with him, he is non verbal, still in nappies and is on the pathway to diagnosis.
However back to your comment my response would be (personally no not autistic but delayed yes) , but what business is it of ours to know otherwise , for me even now its hard for me digest how different my son is and I can only imagine how hard it would be having millions of judgmental followers commenting. Because then she sets herself up for the vaccine debate etc etc, not only that its hard not having a child meet milestones like their peers.
So I think commenting on a child's development just isn't necessary , I mean is she said she was does it make any difference.... No it doesnt. She doesn't owe anyone an explanation with Orla's potential delays.
I would also like to add I cant stand Danielle either, she is a lazy parent, a narcissist, self obsessed. But all children develop different and for that she should not be judged
