Halloween is a wonderful and highly social holiday, it includes dressing up, meeting new people, and of course candy! However, for a child with autism, Halloween might be a holiday of stress and uncertainty. Prepare your students for the super fun day with a great social story. The book outlines what to expect, how people will act, what things people might say, and when it is appropriate to eat that candy.
