I don't know if this is just my paranoia in full swing because my emotions are CRAZY right now or reality. My son has Asperger's and he is having a birthday party this weekend. I sent out invitations to his entire class almost 2 weeks ago and very few kids are going to come to his party. I can't help but feel by the lame excuses from the parents of the kids who aren't coming that it is a slight against my son.
They don't know that I am bipolar, but boy do I feel like letting them know right now and letting them have it for being so snobbish!
Anyway, does anyone have any advice on how I can deal with this while keeping my sanity intact? My son's feelings are going to be so hurt and that is a big part of why I am so completely pissed off.

I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...
Don't worry about comparing, I do think that the other parents feel that there is something "off" with me, they seem to be as uncomfortable with me as I am with them.
I am going to take a small dose of Xanax because I feel an anxiety attack coming on and the rage is building. Thanks for the quick response VAlC!
Asperger's is a form of autism. Christian is very high functioning, but he doesn't grasp nuances of social interaction, has speech issues and he is just different from the other kids. He has the sweetest little heart which is what makes this so hard. He also has a hard time with his motor skills so his teacher lets him type his test answers on a computer some of the time.
Anyway, he is doing really well otherwise. I just want his party to be special, you know? I'm so sorry you had so many no-shows to your parties when you were a kid, why do people have to be so darn judgmental?
I really hope that I am overreacting, but I think there is some measure of reality that is not positive and it makes me very upset.
That's a great point.
