When he said that, my immediate thought was, well, her son has Downs Syndrome, but, that's OK. Meaning, he probably meant that, etc. I just took it as she is familiar with having a child with a disability. She can relate to that much more than someone who does not have a child with a disability.
You know, kind of like Obama saying there were 57 states. He knows how many states there are, but, when you're under that spot light, the nerves can kick in and you know what you mean to say, it just sometimes doesn't come out the way you meant it.
