[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 536767, member: 14557"] MWM: My difficult child doesn't have any Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diagnose (Asperger was considered by his neurologist, but while his neuropsychologist evaluations came up with some traits, some key traits were not there and his overall functioning was too high for diagnose) but I can still relate to "Do I have to be in my party?" question. Only that difficult child was aware enough, that he kind of had to, so he tried to come up with the way, not to have birthday parties but still having the presents from guests, when he was younger. But he seems to have more trouble with his own parties than someone else. We were really running around from one party to other whole day Saturday and difficult child had to wear tie, which he considers a sadistic Croatian torture device and he knew all that beforehand and still came. He had a perfect excuse to miss all the parties. In fact I didn't expect him to come, because he had to give up his only day off in three weeks to sit hours in the car and spent a lot of money on gas just to go all those parties. He could have easily stayed home and just send cards or even Fb messages instead. So other people parties are not the problem. Maybe the problem is, that in his own parties you are kind of centre of attention. But also that seems silly, that he would hate being centre of few people so much, then he absolutely loves it, when he plays and is centre of an attention of few thousand people. And would just love to be in centre of an attention to even bigger crowds. And let's face it, keeping those graduation parties would be well paid job. Few hours of uncomfortableness but because most guests would give money as present, the hourly salary would be very good.
