📝 AITAH for wanting my friends at my birthday party

I, 13NB, have been planning a birthday party for about a month and a half, making sure I am not too intrusive, making sure to plan around everyone's after-school activities, and making sure to plan with everyone parents, too. all that I have been told is positives from my friends, and negatives from their plans. everyone but ONE person is 'busy'. the reason I don't trust this is because there have been many times that they have said they have plans, and then I see them at the ice cream shop or at the library with another person.

my birthday is around the end of the school year, but not to close that people would be out of town, making it the perfect time to plan and get everyone in one place. I am fully willing to change the day and time, it doesn't even have to be all of them. if everyone came it would be 8 people, the minimum is 2 people, or else its not a party its just a dude coming over and eating a big cake.

I have Autism and ADHD, making it a bit hard to understand social Ques from my peers. I think this would be fine if it was a one off time, but this happens every single time I ask them to be near me after school. my last birthday I got 3 people to come over and eat dinner, it was very fun.

Thank you for taking the time to read this if you did^^
