DS is 7 and has Asperger’s. Backstory - a new parent last year sent me a stroppy email asking me to speak to my child as there were some issues with his son. I wrote back and told her he struggles socially due to his ASD but that he’d made massive progress. Anyway, she’s blanked me ever since.
Since Friday, she’s been making loads of noise on the class whatsapp about her son’s lost uniform. She’s revived lots of advice where to look. I stay quiet on the channel. I then receive this text from her:
Dear Milo, your DS said that he took my son’s tracksuit top by mistake last Friday. Can you please ask him to bring it tomorrow at school?
Bitchmum
I replied straight away to ask who he said it to. No reply. I called her and asked her again and she said her son said it. I told her I would have noticed and had he brought it back home, I’d have sent it back straight away. She proceed to ask where she should look (she’s asked on the chat).
I’m really upset as I feel DS was an easy target to accuse and my boy was accused of stealing. I asked him if he’d been asked about the top and he couldn’t understand why his mum mentioned his name. He’s never once taken a child’s things and is careful with his own.
I feel I need to speak to the Mum in person and tell her I did t appreciate the accusatory time. Or am I reading too much into it? I know kids say all sorts but then to have presented it as fact is nuts.

To be on the verge of tears at this text from a parent in DC’s class?
