[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I almost wanted to cry when reading your post. I am on the receiving end, I am a parent of "THAT" child. My 5 year old DS is on the autism spectrum. When he gets too excited, he can play rough. He tries to watch himself, but he is 5. He has never hurt anyone, no injuries, thank God. But the amount of invitations to playdates and BDs has dwindled, including from our closest relatives. I hear through the grapevine that SIL has a party for her kids, my kid is not invited. Or that DH's cousin who lives 3 houses away from us has a large playdate for neighborhood kids and again, my DS is not invited. He knows he is different, he is not stupid, and it hurts him. DH and I are good at redirecting, we will take him somewhere fun, such as a zoo or a playdate with another child from his SN preschool. But it really hurts. [/quote]

I’m sorry to hear that. Actually, two of my son’s best friends have some development delays, one may even have autism, but they are absolutely lovely children. My son loves playing with them and they get along great. We would never exclude a potential friend with a special need.
