Ds is 16 and for the first time since he was about 6 and the "whole class disco parties in the church hall" stopped he has been invited to a birthday outing. He is going bowling with some of his friends who are also ND. I'm so excited for him.

Thankyou. It means so much to him. He's always been a kind of confused bystander in the NT world. He would like to be sociable (in small doses) and have friends but he can't tell whether people are being friendly or making fun of him.
