[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't make my child invite someone she didn't want. It's her birthday so she gets to pick.

If you want to socialize with that mom, it's probably better to make your own time with her.[/quote]

I have no desire to hang out with the mom one on one. I just see her around at school a lot. They live in the same neighborhood as 2 other kids DS wants to invite so I think she would hear about it.

I know I am overanalyzing this but I feel the mom would feel bad. We invited them last year. I think if the child wasn't autistic, I would not be forcing my DS to invite him. For the record, I don't think DS has any idea what autistic means and we have never spoken of the other child in that manner. DS simply does not play with the other child and said he wasn't friends with him.[/quote]

What makes you think the child is autistic?

Certainly don't exclude the kid because he may be autistic, but I don't think you have to invite him to a small party just because you think he might be autistic.

Thank you for your input. I will not force DS to invite him. I was trying to be overly inclusive. I realize that probably isn't necessary.

I am not sure if he is autistic. He does have a special needs teacher with him about half of the time. It could be something else. The child has some strange behavior and is socially awkward. I don't think the child has many friends. The mom is really nice.[/quote]
