Whatever You See, That's Just Me! Halloween Edition

For autistic or neurodivergent children, Halloween can be a challenging time. Costumes, games, food, social events, spooky scenes... It's a lot! But it's also an amazing chance to let children experience Halloween in their own way and embrace the differences!

In this children's picture book, we present the many ways autistic kids might do things a little differently at Halloween. We cover communication, sensory needs, stimming, transitions, unique play, social skills, games, rules, food issues, and many more of the common features and challenges associated with autism, ADHD, and AuDHD.

With fun illustrations, and engaging rhyming text, we present and celebrate all the differences and create understanding about the challenges.

By presenting these differences, we encourage accepting, respecting, and connecting with all kids.

For neurodivergent children, read this book with them! They can see some traits of themselves and understand that it's okay to do things differently.

For siblings, family members, friends, peers, and anyone else, read this book with them! They'll gain understanding of how many people see and do things in their own unique way, and learn to accept everyone for who they are.
