“YTA-
I’m inviting everyone from my class… Except for you because you’re autistic.”
Replies: “YTA- could you have found out what Tyler needed? Maybe his mom or a carer could have stayed with him at the party? I don’t think you have great reasons and you haven’t even tried to help your daughter understand and bridge the gap between them. Also you apparently wanted to avoid her just picking and choosing who came. This is literally what you have done. Also using mail so it’s even more behind his (and his mom’s) backs? I would be so hurt to be Tyler’s mom to learn the effort you went to to exclude my son.”
“YTA You literally said she can’t pick and choose unless you deem them different enough and then they can THE ONLY CHILD IN THE CLASS who gets excluded. If you’re worried about how he’ll cope discuss it with his mom, she’ll tell you he’ll be fine, she’ll come along to support or thank you for trying but it won’t work. The fact he’s non verbal autistic does not preclude him from enjoying a party or feeling the pain of being excluded from one.”
