Some people just don’t get it!

Unfortunately; some people do act this way due to ignorance. Hopefully they will gain some much needed knowledge and then know and then act in a better way.

i would never ignore someone who said hello to me, no matter who they were. i think that your child will still be able to make a wonderful contribution to the community and be a great person. my partner has cousins who have asperger’s and they go to uni and seem to be doing alright. ultimately if someone ignores your beautiful child, that really reflects on them, not you or your child. They don’t matter either so thankfully your child doesn’t notice this. you sound like a great mum by the way and you are raising a happy child which is the important thing

What beautiful heartfelt replies that have been written been written before mine.

I feel the same way as you do too with my son. bullying is out there and I wonder where people first learn it? I think they are somehow making themselves feel above people in this way. I just hope the pendulum of life swings their way one day and they realise the damage they are inflicting. Walk in someone else’s shoes before you ever cast judgment.

I was moved reading your story, people can be so horrible at times. I see it quite often, people laughing at disable people, downsyndrome. I am so disappointed in the behaviour of the young people, I see this toooo often. I wish you and your son all the best in life.
