Yeah. People are responding as if this was the kid's only opportunity in front of the microphone, and it was snatched away from him. If people watch the whole video on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RggF6RShqWo (yeah, I wasted 12 minutes of my life), he is fully participating in the whole concert. And maybe its just me, but when the one kid said "Thanks for coming", that's usually signifies the end. I doubt there were any other lines to be said, and definitely nobody was discriminating against him because he was autistic. Would they have just discriminated at that one part, and not the rest of the concert where he was saying his lines?

I think its just parents trying to cash in, to be honest. Crowdfunded trip for the family to Disneyworld in 3-2-1.....
