Things people should never say to a parent with special needs children

My co worker this week have said these things to me

Your daughter is spoiled you should make her go
He's to old for a security blanket
He shouldn't still have accidents
He's to hyper you should put him on meds
He needs to grow up and stop clinging to you
He shouldn't suck his thumb
You should make her do more things she doesn't want it will be good for her
You need to make her eat what everyone is
You need to make him calm down when he talks
You baby him

but none of them know their story our even ask me.

Tell them the same things, only make it about them.
You're not going to the office party? you really should be there.
You are too old to bring lunch, start eating in the cafeteria, or go out like a grown-up.
You are really wound up there; perhaps you should start drinking decaf.
You need to tell your spouse that they are too clingy.
You really should stop vaping.
You should do whatever the boss tells you; that's what a good employee would do.
Why are you eating so unhealthy? You really should eat healthier.
You really should stop talking so fast I can't understand a thing you are saying.
You , really suck up to the boss, don't you?

People think talking about kids like this is okay, but if you talked about them that way it would not go down very well.
She sounds like a know-it-all all/ busy body.
