I thought you ladies may understand how happy I am.

DD who has ASD and has recently started ms school with full 1:1 has got a party invite. This comes after years of ds being shunned by peers for possible ASD and ADHD. I'm so over the moon she has been accepted by one child at least.

I've posted here because I'm so happy and thought you lot might understand why such a simple thing has made me very happy for dd but very sad for ds.

Hi self I dont know your story but its great news that your Dd is going to a party, I hope she enjoys it

So pleased for your DD self . As you say bitter sweet because of your DS's experiences.

I get it too, DD had a party invite recently

I cried, she looked at me like this

Thanks all it's such a little thing but makes a big difference.

Totally get it.
[big grin]

I get it as well!!

V nice to hear from a mum whose DS has never been invited to a party other than our family friends! Hope he has a lovely time

Sorry hope SHE has a lovely time!

I get it too and hope it's the first of many

Aww!

oo how wonderful. how lovely

they are fabulous aren't they?!!!

That is wonderful news! I hope she has a great time.

That's wonderful news! I totally get it as well

That's fantastic!

I'm hoping it will be the first of many in the years to come
Advance warning - DS used to run away screaming when another Mum gave me a party invite at pick up time. I never worked out how to head it off and it was so embarrassing.

brilliant [gtin] I titally get that. Dd (autism) is in Y1 and we are still waiting :-/

*totally . should probably have coffee before going online

Thanks all now I'm just having a hard time explaining that while yes it's her party invite not her brothers or sisters it's not actually her birthday party
