I started another three about whether I can risk inviting all 14 boys out of a class to ds's party when the maximum number for the activity is 12
I was explaining this to ds this morning about how it's ok to invite 4-6 friends but you can't leave just one or two out of a whole class & he said but that's what everyone else does.
Apparently there have been several parties where invitations have been handed out & ds & one other child who happens to be ds's best friend have been the only two not invited.
One boy who ds plays with a lot told him he wasn't inviting him to a football party because ds might be scared (he's small for his age) & the other bit doesn't like football
He told me that bit made him feel very left out.
Thinking back ds hasn't actually been invited to a party for over 2 years (I'd just assumed people were scaling down)
Ds wants a big party- he's desperate to be popular but I know he can be difficult to get along with & struggles socially (ASD)
Part of me thinks why should I be concerned about not leaving people out but I know that makes us just as bad as them.
I also feel awful for not realising all this time.
