[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When DS was 6 months old he had pretty bad eczema on his face.  While shopping at CVS one day a woman took one look at him and said "That is one nasty looking baby!"

When he was around 16 months or so, I took him to the local library to pick up some books and just to play around, he couldn't walk at the time, or crawl that well, just laid there really. There was another kid there, probably around 2.5, who was trying to play with my son, and when he wouldn't get up to follow the other boy his mom said, "Oh he can't walk, his mom probably isn't teaching him"  I coldly explained that it had nothing to do with me teaching him and that he wasn't physically capable of walking. She stammered some stuff and eventually left.

The most recent thing, which is ongoing sadly, is when we're at the park, my son, who is nearing 3 now, badly wants to play with the kids he sees there, and usually he does but there's always one or two moms who see that he can't talk, flaps his hands around and sometimes yells out in excitement and they will pull their kids away and say something like, "oh don't play with him, he doesn't play right, he's making weird noises"  Breaks my heart every time.
