[quote=Anonymous]My child has been snubbed starting in K.  In the early years of ES most of the snubbing came from the parents. My son always had close friends at school but was often not invited to their parties. There were 2 parties where all the boys were invited in the class except my son. Most painful was the party of one the children who was close friends with my son and played with him all the time.  The parents didn't want their child playing with my son. To make matters worse, the mother was a teacher in the upper grades at that elementary school.  The kids would even come to my house for playdates and those parents never reciprocated.

I also volunteered for both of my children's classes and when volunteering for my other child's class was present for a discussion by several parents about the kids with disabilities bringing their class down and how the school was so good that parents with kids with disabilities were trying hard to get in the school. It was a great school for children without disabilities, but the parents with kids with sns knew the school was horrible for them.

Years later, my son was very close with another school mate and both my son and the other kid kept bugging for a play date. I called the parents, the dad said absolutely and that mom would call and she never did. Eventually she and I were volunteering at the same time and both kids were bugging us about a play date. When the kids were away from us she told me a play date wouldn't happen because her son "only has dyslexia".
