No one wants to babysit a "special needs" person while they are getting their party on.
"Special needs kids" covers a really broad spectrum. Many who are mentally fully competent but have physical disabilities are on certain meds that do not allow them to safely drink alcohol. Others are simply not interested in it.
Among those with mental disabilities, they are often called developmentally delayed for good reason. They may never reach full mental maturity. They may really have a mental age of 4 or 5 or 12. Because of this, their idea of fun is that of a younger child. They'd love to go out for cocoa. Many of them still think concretely enough that alcohol makes no sense to them, just like it doesn't to a small child. ("You go out and have this stuff and then you get sick from it? Nahhhhh. Let's skip that and just go have fun at a movie or something.") It's also really not safe for someone with a mental age of 6 or 8 or 12 to be drinking. That person is not emotionally mature enough to handle alcohol.
Some of the truly mentally handicapped are only "mildly mentally handicapped." They are not in this same category. They look and talk just like the rest of us, but have an IQ of 65 or 70 or so. They do go to bars and such because they are mentally old enough to handle it. They don't look like they're any different from you or me, so you don't notice that they're there. Many of these folks drive, though they really have to study hard to pass the written part of the test and may take longer than most of us.
Because people don't invite special needs kids to parties to drink. It's not that they hate them, they're just afraid of what goes to happen to someone who already has mental disabilities if they get drunk
Well.. I would guess because they aren't exposed to those things as children so they don't grow up wanting to go to nightclubs and parties
