Exposure in Front of People with Disabilities

Question
My brother's wife has a son with special needs; his speech is not correct and he cannot walk, and he is 16 years old. They tell me: do not wear hijab in front of him, knowing that I wear a niqab. What is your opinion?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If he is rational, it is not permissible for him to be exposed, and it seems to be this way, and God knows best.
