I was horrified to read the recent top blog on here from a mum in floods of tears because her autistic son had been excluded from a local party. How can people get it so wrong in this day and age? My son had a classmate with autism and all the boys would be invited together for my sons birthday parties. I would never have dreamt of excluding "M".
I remember fondly one party where "M" decided that the football the boys were playing with was his and to some amusement of parents tried to stuff it up his jumper. The other boys knew and understood " M" and were fairly patient while we got another ball and "M"s dad talked to him gently. There was a feeling that the boys were protective of "M" as they all grew up together.
