  I cannot work out why it’s an elephant. Probably because that’s just whatever the AI came up with and for some reason they just pick the first result

    Or because the idiom “the elephant in the room” is being depicted literally (insinuating their medicated autistic child is ‘an unfortunate unwanted fact’ - which I personally feel is derogatory to the child)
