In this case, I think the guy who got pissed on was at least somewhat aware that my friend's son was a special needs case so that probably helped.

I was in a store once and a small child (maybe 6 or 7) walked up to me and clamped onto my arm with his teeth. No discussion, no provocation, no warning. I was just standing there comparing potato chips and the next thing I know a small child is biting my arm. I was wearing a winter coat so he never came close to breaking skin, but there was an awkward moment or two while I was deciding what to do about it. His mother came running over and unclamped him, apologizing.
If you know the person is a special needs case, it certainly makes a difference in how you interpret it. It's probably pushing the limit to be urinated on, but at least he was in the shower already.
That's a tough cross for your friend to bear. I recognize that one has a love for one's children that is unique, but at the same time you don't go into it planning to be a caregiver to a large adult who can't control his behavior.
