Why is a child’s photo online to begin with? Also how do we know it’s not the dad who used AI to remove his child’s eyes from the photo to get clicks?

    I think it's the other way around.

    Someone shared a photo of their disabled child and someone make them look normal.

    I think.

    Don’t want to be a dick here, and I don’t think you meant anything by it, but I just wanted to provide a friendly note:

    The opposite state of being disabled is being “able”

    Some would assume that your current phrasing carries with it the subtext that “disabled people are not and cannot be normal”

    (Personally I don’t think of ‘normalcy’ as really being a thing in humans, everyone is fairly uniqie for better or worse)

    Even worse, why Instagram? If you're posting a picture of your disabled child on the internet, why would you put it on a platform full of edgy humoured people who would compete against each other to see who makes the most degrading and ableist comment, if you aren't doing it solely to get clicks and engagement?
