First, don't be rash with an accusation... some people start to believe that only their experience is true. I have known parents like those described, albeit with children of all ilks, not just those on the spectrum. Personally, I don't think the two are related; if anything, the panic a parent goes through may negatively alter the motivations and direction they take with their child, or that they do not bond in the same manner as with another child and therefore the child's role is redefined within the family. Again, do not see any sort of cause/effect in the manner described, only that I can see where a relationship can be damaged.

Possibly. There could be a word like "my" missing to soften the absolute. If so, I apologize.
Certainly some families do put too much pressure on any of their children to succeed, seeing them as an extension of themselves. This is wrong for any child. Yes, I've seen it and the damage it causes.
No worries, no need to apologize here... just have seen the result of rushing to judgment too many times, and don't wish for you, the OP, or anyone to go through it unnecessarily - and on a site as such, there will be issues in communication and understanding. And even if it were the case, we can choose to turn it into a positive and productive conversation.
