[quote=Anonymous]If my siblings had children (whether biological, adopted, step, etc) with any complications that I was not informed about- I would take the time to learn as much as I could about the topic.  For instance, my nephew has speech delays.  SIL has sent us some of the studies and we have read through them.  Certainly not as much as she has read, but enough that we can understand the gist of the issue and the plan she is considering for his education going forward.  By learning what we can, we are better equipped to support her and to be more understanding of my nephew.

This isn't the same situation as what you describe- but my point is that, were I in your shoes, I would proactively try to learn what I could about the situation. Ask the parents what they are studying/learning about.  Be a supportive ear for the parents, with enough information that you can actually have a discussion and help them work through the situation.  And just continually show up for the child, without judging them for their current behavior. Provide love and support. [/quote]
