  Children imitate their parents' mannerisms and emotional responses- this is behavior. The degree to which the child carries these personality traits through adolescence and into adulthood of course varies drastically. This shower thought goes too far to say "a pretty accurate measurement" when there are plenty of exceptions, as you point out. But your response seems to lack any acknowledgement of the influence parents have on their children.
  Edit: if anyone reading this infers that children throwing a tantrum means they are copying their parents, that is a huge leap of logic. The fact remains that they are highly impressionable, and their parents are the main source of information on how to behave as a human being before they become socially adjusted to the world.

  Not really. Children go through developmental stages and sometimes those come with behavioral challenges and big emotions that they don’t have the maturity to have a handle on. Also, it’s probably not good to assume that the behavior of neurotypical children and neurodiverse children are going to 1) be the same AND 2) be reflective of the parents. Also, what about foster children and adopted children? The transition to a new home is hard on a kid, so you would blame their behavior on their brand new parents?
  The list of ways this is a bad take goes on, but TL;DR “A person’s assumptions about a child’s behavior reflecting on that child’s parents, despite knowing nothing about them, is a pretty accurate measurement of how judgmental they are.” is probably a better way to rephrase this.
