[quote=Anonymous]DS was riding a special adaptive bike on the way to the park. I was biking behind him. Two kids from his school came up behind us, swerved around him and yelled "what's up weirdo?" I kind of instinctively barked "hey" at them and then followed up with "that's not a kind word to call someone." They seemed sort of shocked (maybe that I said anything at all?) and rode off. DS has autism and is generally oblivious to social stuff so he didn't seem to care but of course it really bothered me. I see these kids with their parents on the way to school. Would you say something? My instinct is to let it go since I realize I'm more upset than DS and I don't know what would really be accomplished by talking to the parents. Plus the rational part of me realizes kids call each other names all the time and the only reason I'm as upset as I am is because DS does stand out from other kids and it hurts to see them call him out.
