An Irvine mum is hitting out at a man who made fun of her autistic son while he played in a jacuzzi at the Magnum at the weekend.

Nicola Hood put a post on Facebook about the incident - 8 year-old Finley was at the lesuire centre with his Dad and older brother when a man, who was there with two children of his own, made the comments about Finlay having a dirty nose.
