Tricia’s son, Timothy, has autism, but he has actually been invited to many of his classmates’ parties. Very nice of them, but Tricia turned them down… all of them. Her reason was that Timothy might have a meltdown and scare the other children, and it would definitely take the spotlight away from the birthday kid, so she politely declined everytime, saying “he won’t be able to make it.”
And then, one day, she received an invitation from the mother of one of Timothy’s good friends in school. It read: “Carter sits beside Timothy at school and he always talks about him! I really hope he can come. We are renting a bounce castle that we can attach a small bounce slide at the bottom. We will also have water balloons and water guns. Maybe Timothy can come earlier in the day if it would be too much with the whole class. Let me know so we can make it work.”
After reading the letter, Tricia was brought to tears, and for the first time ever, she could respond: Hell yes!
