Autistic boy bullied for 'geeky' costume treated to science day out in Sheffield
An autistic schoolboy who was bullied for a 'geeky' scientist outfit has been treated to a fun-filled science day in Sheffield.
Seven-year-old Jamie Witcombe dressed up for his school's dream job day wearing green trousers, a shirt and a laminated ID badge and carrying a magnifying glass.
But he came home 'deflated' after being teased by other pupils who thought his non-traditional outfit looked silly.
