on saturday night i was at a small works party and this chap was there who is frankly a bit of a nightmare. he's always hanging around when he's not invited and he's quite intimidating. anyway i got stuck with him and the talk came to babies somehow and i said i'd quite like another one at some point. he then said' well you know as you get older the likelihood of having twins increses and so does downs syndrome' so i said' well to be honest having achild with downs wouldnt bother me at all, i've got two with autism', meaning you know that things are never as you exopect it to be and you get ion with it and its fine.
do you know what he did? i dont even know how i can say it without sounding as dreadful as him so excuse whats coming next- he did that awful 'spastic' (sorry so sorry for that description) face that kids iused to do when we were about 8.
i was so bloody and i just couldnt say anything i just walked off. but i have been so furoius with him ever since and now i just dont know what to do. the thing is i work in a gallery and he is exhibiting there. my boss who is lovely says she will take them down but he's v intimidating and frankly a bit scary tbh and i am at work on my own and he comes in all the time, literally every day. her mum said she waould speak with him and basically tell him off. i dont knopw what to do!
i dont want him to get away with it, i want him to know what he did was totally unacceptable bu t i dread confrontation. i know thats crap. but equally i owe it my kids to say something directly. just dont know what or how. tbh at the momnet i am dreading seeing him let alone speaking to him. maybe i am overreacting??? by other peoples reactions when i told them i think i'm not but maybehe also has issues which resulted in him behaving in such a way so maybe i should leave it? please advise me!!!!

do you think its possible that he may even be autistic himself??? it would certainly explain his complete lack of social awareness and inappropriateness.

tallulah- am very very at someone actually laughing! that is horrific
