ds is 3.11 old, severe language delay, behaviour problems and sensory issues, expecially on the bus!. So he is in his major buggy, safest place for him on the bus and keeps him in one place, today the journey was going well ( usually a complete nightmare). ds keeps asking to ring the bell kepp telling him not yet not time to get off, he is getting more exited and fed up of being on the bus as usual. The bus stops at a bus stop for an oldish lady say in 70's to get on, ds presses the button, bearing in mind the bus had already stopped and doors where open. Bus driver calls back did anyone want to get off, i told him no sorry my son pressed button by accident, he said back, well tell him dont press the button unless he wants to get off. let that one go, not much harm done there, anyway the old lady sits behind me and ds, and says you should learn to control him, he should know not o press the button, well that was it, i turned round and said loudly so everyone on the bus could hear "excuse me do you moind not being so rude, my son has learning difficulties and didnt cause any harm, so please dont be rude to us" she answered " so what i have epilepsy and i know not topress the button im well behaved" turned back to her again and said " please stop being so rude how can you compare epilepsy to a 3 year old with learning difficulties. you are a very rude lady"
she got off at the next stop, people were walking past me on the bus patting me on the back.
i mean what a stupid lady and how rude hey
