A mom has admitted to not inviting an autistic child to her son's party and wants to know if other parents think she was in the right to exclude him.

For the first few years of your child's life, the little one knows not much more than the bubble that is their home and their parents. They might see a lot of their grandparents and other family members, but their social circle is a small one. Then comes school and trust us if you don't already know, navigating those waters is more difficult than the ones in your adult social life.

The kids are fine, of course, its the parents. Moms deciding who they do and do not want their kids socializing with. Birthday parties, who to invite to them, and how many people can you afford to invite. Sometimes the cut off point has nothing to do with the child on the other side of it, but try telling their mom or dad that.

A mom on Reddit recently took the message boards to ask "AITA" for excluding a certain child from her son's birthday party. Her son's class is made up of 15 other children, and she decided to have him hand out invites to all but one of his classmates. The only child in the class not invited? A high-functioning autistic child.

The mom explained that she had heard a story about the autistic boy going to another birthday party last year and he had a "meltdown." Since her son David's party will be taking place in an arcade, the mom decided she didn't want to take the risk. However, after the invites were handed out and it became apparent who the mom had excluded, the backlash began, including from the autistic's child's mom.

The poster also highlighted that the autistic child is in her son's class to help him adjust to regular life and to prevent him from being discriminated against. However, it seems as if in this case at least, the exact opposite has happened. The commenters on the Reddit post have not been in agreement with the mom's course of action, at least not many of them. What would you have done in the same situation?
