[QUOTE="JodyS, post: 170048, member: 5440"] I feel your pain on oh so many levels. Children don't understand other children who are different. My son also doesn't understand that his friends have choices and they can choose to not like him and his behaviors where your family is always there for you. My difficult child will call through a list of kids he has in desperate hopes one of them can come over and play. Parents don't understand either. My son does not get invited to other kids houses overnight anymore. He just gets too hyper and looses his voice from all the yelling and hollaring. His medications just don't carry him all day and evening. Parents are somewhat tolerant if I explain to them his problems, but usually don't have him over and seldom let their kids come over. So we have the sleepovers. I just invite some of his friends he has managed to hang on too and new kids from his class. We have a big party and I make invitations. I make sure the party is fun and his behavior doesn't sabatoge his friendships. Then they talk at school about Jacob's fun party's. We do this about 5-8 times a year. I have found myself trying to talk to him about appropriate behaviors with friends and even bribing his friends to keep them coming around. I feel bad, but my son's broken heart is worse. [/QUOTE]
