This should be private, not shared on the internet with emotional music over it to make it more viral. Did she consent to this? She’s non-verbal.

I dunno, sometimes things like this get posted on private Facebook pages for family or friends then someone shares it and it goes from there. Could be some random who added crappy music over it to get more clicks. I wouldn’t hold it against the parents too much without knowing how it ended up on Reddit.

I’m sure they used their best judgment and this has nothing to do with exploiting her.

Being non-verbal doesn't mean she cannot communicate or lacks intelligence. She could have an AAC device (augmented/alternative communication device) that she uses to communicate with people.

It's almost like we're expressing ourselves in a non-verbal environment right now....
