[quote=Anonymous]You have a good heart, OP. Does your son actively dislike this child or just not like him as much as the other boys? At this age, boys change friends often and it's possible this boy may end up a friend sooner or later especially since it sounds like you are at a small school.
Our DS definitely has a group of best friends, but is friendly with everyone in all three classes in his grade and would never object to anyone else being included in his party. He gives us a list of the classmates he wants to invite and then we usually add on a few kids whose moms I know or who live close by and he's been very happy to have them included.

On a completely different note, I am friends with a mom with a child who is on the spectrum and was recently in a conversation where she learned her child had been excluded from a few parties and when I say excluded I mean excluded. These were full class parties except for her child. The other mothers talking about the parties because they assumed that child had been included but this girl was not included. I talked to her about it later and she was very understanding but I could see she felt horrible. We are at one of those schools where a lot of parents stink. This is very different from the small party OP is having but I just wanted to mention that for some children on the spectrum getting invited to just one party can be a pretty big deal. I don't know enough details about your situation to advise you either way but wanted to provide some more thoughts to add to your decision making.[/quote]
