IDAHO FALLS — Dozens of community members recently came together to celebrate a seven-year-old boy whose classmates didn’t show up to his birthday party.

Kayla Havens of Idaho Falls said her son Brennan, who is autistic, celebrated his seventh birthday on May 31. Kayla said her son doesn’t have friends outside of school, so she planned his birthday party around the last week of school so his classmates could come.

Havens mentioned that invitations were sent out, but when the time came for the party to start, no classmates were there.

“Brennan kept looking out the window and saying, ‘Mom, has anyone come yet?'” Kayla told EastIdahoNews.com. “I said, ‘I’m so sorry, sweetheart, they haven’t yet.’ … He looked like he was getting more depressed as time went on.”
