Daughter not being invited to birthday parties

mrs.snooks

I have Aspergers myself and have very few friends and now my Asperger's daughter (aged 8) has come to me saying that she has not been invited to two girls parties in her class (the class has 9 other girls). We invited both these girls to my daughter's party. She is really upset and doesn't understand why they would not invite her. I am really upset too as it just feeds into the overwelming fear that my daughter will become just as lonely and isolated as how I am now.

Any advice very welcome.

  • I have also found that quite often Mum's are delighted to be asked to do something with their children- you might find other Mum's are lonely too. I know how thrilled I was when a mum recently approached me outside my daughter's preschool saying how well our children played together and that she would love to do some playdates with us both.  You also already have a lot in common with children of the same age and in the same school/class which helps.

    Not only could this help you to feel less isolated but it could help to strength the bond between you daugther and the other child- you might even meet more new friends in the process.
