Need advice about birthday parties

Euan (9, Aspie) has never really been invited to birthday parties. When he was younger he got invited to a few, but he found them very stressful so despite the fact that I always invited a lot of children to his parties I never stressed too much about so few of the invitations being reciprocated.

Kirsty,


I dont; have muvch advice for you because I am in kind of the same boat. I worked for year and never got plugged into the mommy network. Now my kids are older and it is hard for them to break into existing kid cliques. DD is easier. She will tell me names and I can invite kids over to the house, but DS won't give me any names of kids to invite. He just complains that no-one ever comes around! We do have a couple of neighbours who practically live in our house if I will let them, so that is good. but trying to expand that circle is difficult.


Sorry. That was no help at all. Just know that you're not the only one in this boat.
