Brody Barron has an August birthday, but having recently moved from the U.K. to Guthrie, Okla., he postponed festivities until school started, so he could celebrate with his new classmates.
The boy invited 10 children to his Fortnite-themed party at the entertainment venue Main Event in Oklahoma City and, according to his mother, Susan, “counted down the days” until the big day, Sept. 29.
“We weren’t expecting everyone to show up, but 30 minutes after the party was supposed to start, we knew no one was coming,” Susan tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “I told Brody, ‘Let’s figure out what to do, because I don’t know if your friends are going to make it.'”
Since Brody’s autism makes it difficult for him to understand social cues, he replied, “That’s OK, I don’t mind waiting.”
“That broke my heart,” says Susan. “I told him, ‘I don’t think they’re coming.’ His entire body deflated and he hung his head. I was crying.”
