Hunt on for Doncaster Rovers fans who ridiculed a Rotherham United supporter with disabilities
Footage emerged on Twitter after Rotherham's 2-0 win showing two men laughing and rocking backwards and forwards in apparent imitation of an autistic home supporter who was 'stimming' during the game.
Stimming is where a person with autism makes unusual or repetitive movements such as rocking or hand-flapping as a coping mechanism in loud, overwhelming situations.

"The club have a zero-tolerance approach to any and all forms of discrimination and are working with Rotherham United to identify the individuals involved."
The video shows a man in a white jacket and black trousers and another man dressed in black ridiculing the supporter before heading down a tunnel on to the concourse.
The woman who filmed the video shared it on Twitter and said: "Donny fans taking the p*** out of a stimming Rotherham fan. Absolutely disgusting."
Followers from both clubs posted messages condemning the actions of the duo.
The Millers have yet to comment.
