So, I have to say I just made the connection between you, Harvest, and my parents... Took me long enough! I'm glad you and they got to chat, but don't let my mom fool you. She taught me everything I know about interacting with kids of all ages and abilities. She's pretty awesome and so is my dad :-) I hope you guys have more chances to get to know each other! It was great hearing a

Nigel also loves parties but definitely needs breaks from the stimulation or he has a meltdown. Purple Man to the rescue! I just love Jonathan's drawings.

Love the cartoon. Very very creative. My nephew has Asp. also and he's not that great with "change". Just when you're ready to throw the towel in and get him back to his safety zone.....he's comfy and wants to stay.

Glad it worked out well for you!

I'm so impressed that you both stuck it out through the stress so that you could enjoy more party time. I would have retreated and missed out on a lot of fun.

LOVE his comics! So creative especially when put on the spot! I couldn't ever do that! Sounds like everyone had a great time in the long run!!!

Oh yes, Everyone we know was accounted for....and their squads! Thank Heavens!!!

Purple Man rocks! I think it's a myth that Aspergian people don't enjoy being around people.

I get it. Very clever. It never ceases to amaze me how creative Jonathan is. So glad it worked out and ya'll got to enjoy the party.

We own an older dog. Poor thing can barely even walk. We had a huge halloween party and one adult and one teen were both afraid of the dog. There was nothing I could do help them not be afraid. An active big dog, even I'm cautious but like I said my guy is really old now and just lays there.

A radio controlled crab? Outstanding!

Love that after he expressed himself, he was ready to party. My son and I played one of my old board games this afternoon, Sweet Pickles. I was thinking of you guys!

Great post! Hugs to the circle of care and support that he received! And, of course, his mom for helping to pave the way.

I love the comic he drew! Love how he expresses himself in his drawing. Dakota doesn't like crowds and he doesn't like to leave the house to go anywhere lately. So Christmas this year will be here. It will be interesting to see if he hides or if he sits around with everyone else. If Dakota would have been around kids and was having fun he wouldn't want to leave either. LOL He does the

What a great way to diffuse the situation! I'm amazed the gentleman thought of it and blessings on him. :)

Our guy loves people too. He just has a hard time navigating all the social rules. They just don't make sense.

I love the comics. Big Brother loves to draw, so I might try to encourage this as a way to get some feelings out.

Glad a good time was ultimately had by all!

Loved the comic, interesting way to view the crabs as fighting back. Sounds like he enjoyed that party after all even if he did have a bit of a rough start to the evening.

thanks for posting!
