How much "catching up" did you plan to do at a noisy birthday party venue? FFS, it's not like she invited her toddler along. Catch up with your friends another time.
+1 have some empathy op. Seriously. If her child is typically quiet to the point your daughter barely knows him and his mom is saying he’s anxious and could use some back up, the kind and right thing to do is say of course. Otherwise you are making it so this kid is even further excluded because he can’t come to the birthday party because now it would likely be too much for him. And he’s a kid that probably needs that experience more than anyone (the best way through anxiety is exposure so mom is trying to figure out a way to get him there).
Do the right thing. You’re not going to be catching up that much while you run an entire class party and I’m sure the mom won’t want to chat much either so you still can.

This is OP. This is basically what I'm planning to do. I may just "forget" to respond to her text. If she shows up and stays, fine, but I'm not there to entertain her.
well, aren’t you a peach. wow.

If OP doesn't respond then the kid and mom probably won't come. Which is what she wants.
