At ABLE (Applied Behavioral Learning Experiences), we know the spooky season can be both exciting and overwhelming for children with autism. From decorations popping up in stores to Halloween-themed TV shows and community events, sensory challenges and changes in routine can sometimes make this time of year tricky to navigate with autistic kids, but with the right strategies families can
