So....that being said...
Halloween is a horrible time for Greyson. As it is for most children with Autism. The whole damn thing is a sensory overload full of scary scary things in their eyes. He nearly took out a lady in Target running away from the Halloween display with his hand over his face trying to escape the horrors there. Poor guy. Even his favorite TV channels focus on the event and he inevitably get s the crap scared out of him right before bedtime. This results in him having a panic attack and needing the TV on (on NICK Jr.) late into the night. He becomes inconsolable and is totally freaking out once he has seen or heard something "scary". Zombies, skeletons, werewolves, devils, etc...are not his friends. Fake or not...And he loathes spiders which everyone seems to think are a good idea to hang on their homes this time of year...great big ones that cover the entire front porch! Our lives become a living hell in October. To top it off, Michele loves Halloween. She wants to trick or treat with Greyson, mostly for his candy, and go look at all the scary stuff. He on the other hand will tell you. "Can't we just skip on to thanksgiving and eat some turkey legs!" hahahahaaaaa this is the first year he has spoken up and said, "NO trick or treating!" :( poor momom... I will have to buy them bags of candy to eat to make up for it. So....we plug along. No scary stories, no scary house decorations, no scary trick or treating...No sir reeeeee! I would go to a carnival in the day time...but people still dress scary there. If I could just convince all of Charlotte to dress in Star Wars attire and keep the houses decorated like Tattoine, Degoba or Mustafar we would be golden. We all know that ain't happening. haahahaaaaaaa "Go trick or treating...we will not" as Yoda would say. Come on November...it's Greyson's birthday, turkey leg time and the ghouls will be gone. (Until next year anyway.) Yay!
