And there are full-grown adults with similar disabilities and their caregivers are able to take care of them.

With extreme difficulty or, in the alternative, by having to hand off their child to a long-term care center to live out the rest of his/her natural life. IMHO, better to be short and at home, where it seems that this child will be loved and cared for, instead of in a long term facility, where it's a crapshoot.

not typically. when they are that profoundly disabled, and
their own families cannot take care of them they are either
placed in residential facilities or caregivers are hired to
support the family. either of those situations may not be the
same quality of care the family would provide.

this family wants to care for their own daughter.

No. there are people paid to care for them, who do it, sometimes in a slipshod mannner.
