Community saves autistic boy’s birthday party after no friends show

[StrongRightArm]

Just posting this here since i found it heartwarming..misc is a cold dark cave and it needs this.


When none of her son’s classmates showed up to his birthday party, a Florida mother took to social media to express her despair.
Within hours, her community including police officers and firefighters rallied to make her little boy’s day nothing short of magical.

His chitty classmates parents probably feel like chit now. Every kid in that class would never say NO to going to a birthday party. Good stuff.

Strong use of the word "friend" in this article. None of my "friends" ever missed my party when I was having one. They should say "None of the child's ******* ass bitch ass classmates showed up to the party."

This. My mom used to make me go to kids I didn't like birthday parties.

The article didn't mention that his mom was caught banging the other dads in the class

It's really difficult for autistic people to have friends. My brother is autistic and doesn't have any real "friends." That's why I hang out with him and invite him along as much as possible. Fortunately, it's pretty easy to make him happy. I made his month when I bought him a football game for the playstation.

Saving up some money so I could a smaller house on my property for him in the future.

As a parent i never let any of my kids miss a party they've been invited too, once my eldest son was invited to a party in a swimming pool for a girl in a wheelchair, he was the only one who turned up apart from her siblings and the parents stopped the party after a half hr because she was so upset, she changed schools the following week

if he has Asperger, they probably told their parents they didn't want to go.

god that's awful. I guess people don't think how they'd feel if this was their kid having the party.

My son has bumped into her in the pool a few times and always chats to her, her parents have said that hes a credit to me, just raised my boys right.... life is to short to be a dik

[ironically]

Ohh this hits right in the feels. Gotta love it when something such as this brings the whole community together

[FallOutBrah]

people need to stop being afraid of mental illness and spend more time learning about it. and people wonder why stuff like this happens.

at least the story had a happy ending.

You're probably right. But the parents should've taken them anyway.

Came close to having to see if someone was cutting onions near me. Brought a smile to my face, gj OP.



Reminds me of when I was in grade school, my parents would tell me to invite everyone in the class - even if I wasn't really friends with them, so that nobody was left out. I went to all the birthday parties I was invited to even if I didn't really like the kid either. My parents would just tell me that it's their special day and I can be friends with them for a few hours.

Looking back on it, one girl didn't invite me to her birthday party in like.. Grade 7 - but she invited almost all of the class. I remember my friends asking why I wasn't there after the weekend and I lied and said I already had other plans and couldn't make it.. Still think about it every now and then tbh.. Really felt bad being excluded and having everyone talk about how much fun it was while I was never invited.

I don't understand why are people so afraid of autistic people. Last semester there was one autistic guy (I know him from previous classes) in my class, and when professor asked us to form groups for group project, no one wanted to do presentation with him. I approached him later and asked him if he wants to do presentation with me.

What? is this true?!

"Later in the week, the sheriff's office and fire department sent trucks, SWAT teams and police dogs to Glenn's house as a special gift." First his classmates disrespect his whole family, then SWAT?

lmao no dude it's just miscer gonna miscer

Technically it's not mental illness but retardation.

Just a shame it happens so rarely.
