[quote=Anonymous]OP, you need to be more flexible in your thinking. Friendships don't have to be mirror-image reciprocity. This kid is probably an introvert, you know he has some special needs, and hosting just doesn't work well for him at this time. We don't need every friendship to meet all our needs. Different friends are for different activities. I have my choir friends to sing with, my work friends at work, my friends who like to go out, my friends who I do museums with-- I don't expect all of that from a single person! If you would like your son to be invited, try to cultivate more friendships, maybe with kids who are more extroverted or with kids who are only children so their parents motivate for more playdates. Stop expecting one friendship to check all the boxes. [/quote]
