Wearing a Halloween Costume

Our social story walks autistic kiddos through wearing Halloween costumes and what to do if they are overstimulated to ensure they enjoy themselves.

Wearing a Halloween Costume: On Halloween, I can pick a costume to wear.
Wearing costumes is fun because I can play pretend.
My costume might have: Gloves, Mask, Cape. A costume is different from my clothes and might feel different on my skin.
If I don't like how something from my costume feels, I can ask not to wear it.
I can also ask to wear my clothes under my costume if that's more comfortable.
When I have my costume on, I can wear it to: Halloween parties, Trick-or-treating, and Parades.
Once Halloween is over, I will take my costume off.
If I want to wear my costume again after Halloween, I can ask to wear it during playtime.

Social stories use simple langauge and clear visuals to walk your autistic child through situations like new routines, transitions, or social interactions. Reading them together ahead of time helps reduce anxiety, builds understanding, and makes unfamiliar moments feel more predictable and manageable.
