Free Halloween Social Story
Halloween can be the most exciting, spooky, fun, adventurous time of the year for children. They may dress up, play party games, go trick or treating, eat heaps of delicious sweets, go to Halloween parties and have heaps of fun.
Autism Friendly Halloween
For some children it can be an overwhelming time, sensory differences, and the unpredictability of Halloween can lead to anxieties and overwhelm.
What is most important is that you listen to your child and affirm, validate any fears they may have about Halloween. Their fears are genuine and very real.
You can support your Autistic child by preparing them for what to expect by using Visual Supports such as Halloween Social Stories and fun Halloween activity packs.
The unpredictable nature of Halloween with all the spooky costumes, all the painted faces, noises, lights, carved pumpkins, it can be a frightening time.
