[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a sad thing is that parents of NT kids don't understand how hard it is for SN kids to be liked and to fit in, when they so desperately want to! My child genuinely wants friends and likes other children. He sometimes acts "weird" and doesn't express his interest the right way. He's not a behavior-issues child.

It's just sad that some parents have to make pre-k parties and early elementary parties into exclusive events. I get that finances may limit the number of children you can invite. Please be decent and keep it small to your budget with just a few best buddies or invite everyone. [/quote]

Who are you to tell anyone who to invite to their birthday party? Seriously...I am SN myself and sure it hurts when you aren't invited - but honestly, that's just life. Sometimes you're in. Sometimes you're out. I deserve the right to invite to my party whoever I want there...not whoever society/the school/my neighborhood/my family/etc. thinks I should be inviting. People seem to constantly forget one thing: [b]A birthday party is about NOBODY else but the birthday child. I have to repeat that because people always disregard this fact. A birthday party is all about the birthday child.

If your child loves a birthday child - why not show that in a different way than having to attend a party?! Why doesn't your child draw a picture for the birthday child and bring it to school on their birthday to gift it to them for example? I think it is VERY important to teach children that when someone has their birthday it is about showing that person how much you like them and how happy you are that they were born...and it is NOT about whether or not you are invited to their party.

This is equal for NT and SN children.[/quote]

Wow, you must be raising completely spoiled brats. I can't imagine thinking that a social event is all about one person, birthday party or otherwise.

Did you also conclude that your wedding was "all about you" and go all bridezilla?  [/quote]

New to the party here, but I have to say I see the go-all-bridezilla attitude most clearly...in the unwarranted attacks by the latest PP. The previous PP has some very good points:

"If your child loves a birthday child - why not show that in a different way than having to attend a party?! Why doesn't your child draw a picture for the birthday child and bring it to school on their birthday to gift it to them for example?"

"This is equal for NT and SN children."
