"Somebody said to them [their children] one day, 'how did you cope with Ronnie when your friends came to the house' and they said 'well, we don't think about it really, it's just Ronnie'."

I read the article and nothing there answers my question
people can be blind to their own children, literally in stories older than the written word
you see cases of resentment with families that have to focus on children with major special needs
he was high functioning but a couple lines show some friction occurred so this sounds kinda whitewashed, but people don’t need to know all your personal business
but anyway I doubt this is completely honest

Why be cynical about this?
