Halloween & Autism ACT Today! for Military Families wishes all of you a safe and happy Halloween! We understand that this holiday may be hard for children with autism. Here are some tips and articles to help you on this day! Halloween Tips for Kids with Autism from the Boone Fetter Clinic • Know your child’s limits and do only what he or she can handle. For example, if your child is not comfortable trick-or-treating, you can start by going to three houses. Assess how your child is doing and build up to more houses the following year. • Take your child to an activity in the community, such as a school festival or a neighborhood party where the child is already comfortable and knows people. • Partner with family and friends that your child likes. • If you are giving out candy at your home, give your child the option to give a piece of candy. During the day, practice greeting people and giving out candy. • If your child is afraid of going out at night, plan indoor or daytime Halloween activities.
