Bringing up up just prior to the wedding shows she was thoughtless about her friends most important family member/child.

It doesn't sound like this was brought up "just prior to the wedding." The wedding is this summer and they decided early on not to allow children, and she feels her friend has had "ample time" to make arrangements for childcare. The friend is asking repeatedly for permission to bring the child who is known to be disruptive at major events.

OF COURSE I have followed our long standing and time honored tradition of not reading the whole article — if children in general have not been invited and the Brides Maid has ignored it because everything is special for he kid, then she is more to blame in this situation.

I am not sympathetic to the parent of the autistic child.

That "friend" is probably one of those women who secretly enjoy letting their child run amok and draw all attention to him (and by proxy, to her.) Some women weaponize their kids on purpose.
