It’s that time of the year again: Halloween 🎃 I hope everyone has a Halloween that suits them – whether you are going all out and dressing up, trick or treating or even partying (or if you’re just having a nice quiet night in with a book and a bath!)
I’ve done a little doodle above describing some of the things we autistic / sensory people struggle with when it gets to this time of year 🍂 It can be quite an overwhelming season (Halloween, Bonfire / Firework Night and then the Christmas festivities 😱) it all seems to follow one another in quick succession!
My name is Sophia and i also have sensory problems. I HATE fireworks. When I’m supposed to be sleeping in bed i stand by my window, getting STRESSED OUT!!! Can you give me some more ideas on how to stay sensory safe?

P.S. l LOVE YOUR BLOG!

Hi Sophia! Nice to hear from you and great that you can also relate to hating fireworks! It’s awful how much they ruin sleep and make you jump out of bed! It’s worth checking out my instagram as I put lots of tips and tricks over there – is there a specific situation you want to stay sensory safe in? Aww thanks so much that really mean alot! Emily 🙂

I have never, nor do I ever want to, take part in Halloween. Not just due to the sensory stuff, but also because it just seems so pointless to me, lol.
