I honestly think you are blowing it out of proportion.
What pains my heart in that picture is that child or any child for that matter has to live with a disability like that one.
What warms my heart in that picture is his smile; regardless of his situation he is still smiling.
His teacher and/or his class have made a happy environment for him. No kid smiles like that that is upset. Kids can't really fake their emotions.
Could have things been done to make him more included in the photo? Sure but does it really matter if he was still smiling.
Also to add I pork his teacher.
