[quote=Anonymous]As kids get older, Halloween can be very stressful or anxiety producing for kids, special needs or not. This year it was my NT kid crying at the end of the night. Luckily after friends left, but I would not put pressure on this to be a "favorite holiday" anymore. Halloween is over stimulating, lots of sugar, lots of social interaction, and then as they get older all the drama of who they are trick or treating with, kids feeling left out, running around all night, eating candy, all after a long school day, the talk of Halloween at school, stress over what to dress up as. Now that my kids are tweens/teens, I can say Halloween has become one of my LEAST favorite holidays. More years than not, at least one kid has a meltdown either leading up to it or the night of.
