It is not straightforward, and nor is the solution, but it upset me so much I had to send a card.There are questions about whether his mother did the right thing in making an appeal. Would the boy appreciate it now or in the future? How would he view stuff arriving from strangers? <br /><br />as to your suggestions...I will just say that if an aspie is isolated and friendless at school, possibly bullied, possibly just thought of as weird because of unusual behaviours and reactions to ordinary stimuli, even compassionate and intelligent mothers will struggle to persuade their kids to go to his party. There are no easy solutions.Sue Hepworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15371516958537364663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18554411.post-39380033615227392882017-07-14T13:11:10.539+00:002017-07-14T13:11:10.539+00:00I don't know the etiquette: if they received R...I don't know the etiquette: if they received RSVPs and then no one turned up it's outrageous. Regardless, the mom needs to rethink for next year so this doesn't happen again. Perhaps three or four kids should be invited with a specific activity planned, like a movie picked in advance. And if friendship is hard for this boy, the way (IMO) to start is by picking the mothers carefully. Maybe there will be a few with compassion and intelligence.Phoebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05273217267623713000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18554411.post-21416115909789529382017-07-13T12:24:39.874+00:002017-07-13T12:24:39.874+00:00Thank you, S and Anonymous.
