to feel wrongly accused?

[DeSelby]

In a coffee shop earlier today a woman accused me of rolling my eyes at her autistic son. He was rocking my friends pram, I had looked to see what was happening & then looked away not thinking about it, and certainly wasn't aware of rolling my eyes. Earlier he had taken a toy from our table and I had made a joky comment about his being "well trained" ( I realise now that was a stupid thing to say but had meant in terms of taking toys.) Anyway after the pram rocking the woman took her son off saying that I was out of order because he was autistic, I said I hadn't done anything & she said I'd been rolling my eyes. Was I unreasonable? What would you do, I see her around a lot but don't actually know her and I feel bad that I may have unintentionally upset someone.

shes probebly just feeling protective because hes autistic,id of told her your arent interested in what she thinks to be honest

I bet she has so many people rolling her eyes at her child/her that she's mega defensive. I'd have apologised rather then told her that I didn't, it sounds like she has enough to cope with.

Sounds to me that she was just being super sensative.

YANBU. All you can do is apologise for any misunderstanding and in the future when you see her about to be polite etc.

She sounds very sensitive, not that I blame her, as people can and do judge other childrens behaviour, as so often seen on these boards. Perhaps she's had a bad experience recently.

I don't think you were being unreasonable, it sounds like she is as others said, sensitive about her son and I think was quite rude to you tbh.
I hate it when complete strangers act like that. I was in a queue to show my ticket at the cinema recently, and the woman in front decided to complain to the ticket tearing man about the fact she had to pay for 3d glasses hire when she had bought a pair of 3d glasses, blah de blah. Completely pointless as the ticktet tearer had no authority to do anything about it. Anyhow my dd asks if we can get some popcorn, and I say "i don't think we have time as the film is about to start." And the snooty woman in front turns and snaps at me "Is that aimed at me?!" So I snapped back at her, NO it is just a statement of fact, our film IS about to start!!!
I don't think you need to think anymore about it.
