For the critic to assume that because of the "brutal nature" of the play and the playwright having had a disability himself, that he was seen as a "burden to those caring for him" is awful. Sure, say it's not meant to be PC, but c'mon. What a terrible thing to assume for those both with disabilities, and for those who are family members and/or caregivers. A broad stroke for a such a more complex issue. Wow.
