In her words:

“Getting a wife for an autistic child because of reasons is not a solution. Looking for a wife, coming online to look for a wife for an autistic child, it’s not love, it’s not compassion.”

She also explained that mothers like her, with autistic children, are not seeking marriage for their sons but genuine carers. She further warned that any woman entering Aboy's life would be driven by selfish motives and interests.

She added:

“Anyone that will come in this child’s life is coming for selfish interests. Mark my words. There will be no love attached to it. They are coming because of the extra benefits that they have heard. They will not love this child.”

She questioned how the new wife would cope with the full realities of autism.

“How will this so-called wife manage the other bad behaviours attached to autism? Autism has a lot attached to it. It is not just what you see physically.”
