[quote=Anonymous]Keep telling the kids.
Also, maybe make friends somehow to get the point across even more. Say hi too when they aren't acting like jackasses. Give them extra Halloween candy.

The parents would probably be mortified. At least some would. I'd get the word out to the neighborhood in general that this is happening so that more people could embrace and support your son.

We had an incident at a sporting event where my son was ridiculed by some boys who were volunteering. I was right there so if course I explained. I was disappointed that the parents near me said nothing. When I explained to the parent in charge of the event it became this big thing where the boys were yelled at by coaches and I was asked more questions and many people apologized. It's like they felt overly guilty though - I felt like the boys were learning so it was good. They were high level athletes which tells you that working at being good at a sport does not a good human being make...

The more appropriate/pleasant exposure people have with special people (i.e.: not calling them weirdos or laughing at them) the better the world will be. [/quote]
