We were just at one of our local parks, and the playground was packed. A little boy was playing with one of the playground toys when Cameron came up and also tried to play with it. Before Hive account@jazzyfish or I had a chance to tell him to wait his turn, the other boy's mother piped up with "Don't let him take your stuff!" Jazzyfish turned to the mother and explained that he's not trying to take it, but that he has autism and we begged for their patience.

The mom said, "I don't care."

At that point, I didn't know this happened because I was already on the way back to the car with Cameron because it was time to go - but then Carolyn told me what happened. So I went over there and spoke to her and her boyfriend/husband/large child thing and said "I understand you don't care about kids with autism." She said that's not what she said, and then the large child thing said "That's not an excuse, you still have to teach your child. I got a brother with Downs Syndrome." <----as if that's an excuse to be a total asshole.

ABSOLUTELY IGNORANT.

So as I was walking away, I made sure to turn around, and loudly tell these people (so that EVERYONE there could hear):

"You need to be more sensitive towards people with disabilities."

The entire park got quiet, and they all looked at me to see who I was talking to and pointing at. Then they got up and started going elsewhere. We even had other families coming up to apologize to us.

The next person who says anything like that to me about my child is getting punched dead in the face.

There is no rationalizing with people who think like this, and I have zero tolerance for even trying. I will gladly and proudly go to jail for assault to defend my son, or towards people who teach their children to bully people with disabilities.
