Trivial but upsetting incident at bus stop

I'm somewhat upset over another child from DS's school being nasty to DS. DS said "Hey" in a friendly way. Other child starting mocking him, saying "Hey", "Hey", then "Hey I'm an idiot". . Fortunately DS was oblivious. I just don't know if I'm overreacting - as on the one hand the child is taking the mickey out of DS because of his social immaturity (ie. for SN related reasons, which makes my blood boil as mummy tiger) - whilst on the other hand the other child is only a year older, and I know young boys can be a little lacking in sensitivity. I see this boy about once a week, and now feel awkward about using that bus stop now. I could just walk to the shops instead from there, but....

I just feel a bit today - Ds got a great report from his teacher from parents' evening today - apparently she has no concerns about language/social skills etc- but then if an older kid is taking the piss out of DS's social skills, then they can't be that great . (I didn't mention the incident to DS's teacher as it was a one off) I feel a bit fed up as it's a constant battle to get anyone official to recognise that discharge from SALT is not the same as normal and "cured" and age appropriate ability to communicate.

Yes, any sort of imitation doesn't thrill me, but if the kids are otherwise OK I turn a blind eye. The child in question is a little sod hard work so I doubt that would have worked, the mother seems to often resort to pained shouting, but a good suggestion for other times.
