No, they shouldn't be talking to you about another child. Presumably the people at the afterschool program know how open the mother is about her daughter's needs by how the mother interacts with them, so I might start by asking them if they thought the mother would be receptive.
As a mom of a special needs kiddo I'm perfectly fine with people asking. The better people understand where Ben is, the better his school/peer experience will be. But I know there are other parents who feel differently, and I'm always hesitant to approach other parents unless I have some indication that they'd welcome it. (My shy personality kicking in.)
