No you're not crazy. Case is a wonderful kid who has not been invited 
to one class birthday party. I am concerned about kids being mean as 
he gets older. His older brothers friends sometimes taunt him 
already. The school is great on teaching respect of all people though 
and many many kids shout hello to him as he walks around school. He 
uses crutches now to keep him from falling.
Then we all have some disability and for some people it's being a 
bully or as we sometimes whisper in our family about people we find 
lacking - that person has two brain cells and one of them died.
