A distressed mother has shared her horror after her autistic son came home from school visibly shaken and complaining he was abused by another parent.
The eight-year-old boy, who attends classes at a special education unit in a school in Queensland, said he was approached by another student's mother on his way out of class.
After declining to speak with her because of his nerves, the woman screamed in his face and grabbed his shirt, the boy's mother said in an anonymous message on a Facebook page.
She is now appealing for any information from other parents who may have witnessed the incident.
'Just looking for any parents who may have witnessed my eight-year-old autistic son being assaulted today by another PARENT at school pick up!' she wrote.

'This "mother" has followed my son and proceeded to ask his name, age etc to which my son didn't respond because he has a fear of people he doesn't know, so will ignore them.'
'This mother has then grabbed my son by his shirt and screamed at him for his name and called him a little c***.'
The boy's mother also said that while some children embellish certain situations, her son was 'absolutely' shaken, both at school and when he got home.
She said he can't comprehend why he was 'in trouble' with the woman.

'This woman has petrified him and I will make sure she is held accountable... he came home sobbing and shaking,' she said.
The woman's son ran to the school's office after the attack, and staff allegedly tried to console him before speaking with his childcare worker.
'Tuesday is the only day I don't pick him up, so I couldn't search for this woman myself on the spot. The teacher spoke to my son's childcare worker and assured her they were on it. I have 100% faith in this school and their staff.'
'They are looking into it but I am wondering if anyone else saw anything. I would like to speak with this 'mother' myself. Police will also be involved in the morning.'
