12, by the sounds of her.  And while we're at it, who calls her children "neurotypical?"  I'm getting the impression that this woman isn't so "neurotypical" herself.  Seriously.  It sounds like she has problems.  She's obsessing over a matter that highly likely doesn't need addressing just yet, and may never, for all anyone knows.  Lots of people with ADHD get along fine, w/no special attention.  And the article says Jack is on the "autism spectrum;" but not just where.  Could be that all he needs is discipline.  
I think the article inferred there was a father in the picture.  What's his say?  

All I can think is that all this should've waited.

And that's a psycho babble contribution for the week.  

I beleive the situation to be hypothetical..

Given its a Reddit product, it's prolly just a bait and troll thread.

I did wonder about that.  I just don't have enough to do today.

I'm thinking Hawk's right.  I suspect it's a made-up tale.  But then, so what?  It makes for interesting conversation.  Sort of.

I wouldn't call it trolling.
It has some merits as to real life possibilities.

Prolly a psychologist or psychiatrist who has a patient he is counseling .

Regular folks don't use that terminology or write in that fashion.
