A dumb clown kicking a cat for fun with his child and his brother? Just a friendly banter.
Someone pissed off reacting in the heat of the moment with a hand slap? Assault.
I’m not even a Ronaldo fan but this is blown out of proportion. He lost is temper in the heat of the moment, not a great thing to do but it’s not like he punched him in the face or kicked him for fun on the street while being recorded by some dumb friend. Also, why does it matter that the child is authistic? Is it written over his forehead? Or did he tell Ronaldo before being slapped?
