Unkind People

[horselady]

Just been to collect my little grandson and his big sister from school. He has autism-the type they call "high functioning" so goes to a mainstream primary school. I rarely pick them up, usually the other granny does it, so people don't know me and I overheard some mums call him "the weird kid". The little mite is 5 years old for god's sake, and is one of the sweetest natured humans. Why be so cruel about a little child? I didn't say a word because my granddaughter hadn't heard them and I didn't want to draw attention for her sake (she's 8) but it's really upset me. I shan't tell his mum and dad so I've told you nice bunch instead so you can stick pins in voodoo dolls for me.

I admire you're constraint, I would have let them know you heard them,
