my autistic son feeling hurt after woman at school poked fun at him?

[Deborah]

he has mild autism. and in main stream infant school. he is 5. he is very stubborn. last night was his school nativity. of which he stood and stared at the wall and did not join in at all. it was very hard to watch. but what made it worse was a mum sat in the row front of me was pointing and making nasty comments about him. i didn't say anything as didn't want to cause a fight. it was the same mum when my son had gave a christmas card to her daughter. the only person he wanted to send one too and had spoke about all day telling me how nice she was. he decorated his card him self and was so proud of it. when he gave it to her daughter she thanked josh then passed it to her mum to look after. her mum then made fun of it to her friends. and threw it on the table and walked of. my son was so upset.

question is..... should i do anything. should i say something. or just realise this woman is not worth it.
it would have been very difficult to to confront her there and then. i had my two daughters with me aged 2 and 4. also my son hates confrontations. he would have lost it completly. i will how ever go back this afternoon and have a word with the head teacher. and if i see that mum i will be having words.

Im sorry but are you a mother or a mouse- i would have stood up for my son, i would never let anybody hurt or or laugh at my son- like you just sat there while she pointed at your son and laughed at him- i would have gentle leaned over to her and told her "if she didn't want to be in a show -shut up"-and if you didn't want to confront her at the show you should have said something after it- bully's are cowards full stop- i cant believe you just sat there and took that your boy is 5 years old!!!!!!!! If she does do this again i hope you will stand up for your son- i know how hard autism can be my cousins child has it- if i was sitting watch him in a play and someone started pointing and laughing i would go nuts at that person and im not his mother?! I wouldn't care what she tells her friends because if they had a brain they would tell her to P**s of instead of listening to a grow (sad,sad) woman laugh at a 5 year old child with autism- you need to put a stop to her and confront her- its you thats letting your boy down for not standing up for him-

The woman isn't worth it at all, she is immature and rude and you need to put it down as she's got the mentality of a 5 year old. Ignore it and see what happens; if she continues to poke fun at your son confront her in a mature way and let her know it's unnecessary and hurting your sons feelings. If she does anything towards you're son straight on you really need to confront her and tell her to back off and if she starts a fight just walk away cause she isn't worth your time. Anyone who can bully a 5 year old has no life and let her know that.

She is hurting your child with your actions you should confront her.
She A needs to grow up and B she needs to learn some manners
She obviously has issues with your child whether it is his disability or something else (might be you you never know people are weird sometimes).
At the very least she needs to keep her opinions to herself around your son!!
