Halloween for children with autism Autism Support Network

Halloween is a time for fun and make believe. Children with autism have problems with the concept of pretending - hence, putting on a Halloween costume to pretend to be something or someone else is a scarey and unsettling concept to them. Trick or treating is a hard chore as it involves going up to a stranger's house and knocking on the door, talking to someone they don't know, accepting candy from a stranger and various other things which can send an autistic child into a frenzy.

The Autism Support Network has an excellent article on tips for making Halloween fun and manageable for autistic children. It is definitely worth reading if you are planning on sharing Halloween with a child who has autism or is suspected of being autistic. Check it out today and plan for a fun and enjoyable holiday with all children!!!!!

Halloween Decorations, Outdoor Halloween Decor, Halloween Costumes - Grandin Road

This has to be one of the best Halloween sites I have found yet! From the sound effects when you arrive at their site to the video - it is worth the few minutes it takes to check it out!!!!! Grandin Road's Halloween Haven section features Halloween costumes naturally, however, the Halloween decorations for outside and inside are limitless and must haves if you really enjoy Halloween decorating. They have what ever you might need for a Halloween party, a haunted house, to film a horror movie, or just decorate a tabletop.

This site is not just for shopping - it offers entertaining ideas and tips, vexing videos, among other things. I enjoy this site and not just at Halloween, but during other holiday seasons as well. Check this site out - enjoy!!!
