This might be more about me, I will admit that. Birthdays and holidays are always the hardest. My son is turning 12yrs this weekend and I feel I have already failed at the task with the birthday cake design. You see my son doesn't really like having birthday parties or receiving gifts that aren't what he wants. He's never had a real birthday party with friends; it's not what he wants, just family celebrations. It's always been a struggle and it's hard to remember sometimes that it's part of his AS ridgid thinking and anxiety. You try and it feels like he's just being ungrateful, I know it's not the truth but it still it hurts.
