PETERBOROUGH, Ont. – An Ontario teenager who didn’t receive a single answer after putting out invitations for his birthday party on Friday has received an outpouring of support.
Melissa Camus posted a message about her son Odin on a local Facebook page and a website in Peterborough that promotes events in the Ontario community spoke up for him.
The Facebook post describes Odin as a 13-year-old boy who suffers from Aspergers, a disorder that impairs the ability to communicate and socialize with others.

It says Odin has difficulty making friends and instead of a birthday party his mother set up a bowling night at a local ally.
Odin has received an outpouring of wishes on Twitter, including Liberal leader Justin Trudeau, and the Toronto Maple Leafs and Raptors among many.
