@autismbucks.bsky.socialHalloween costumes aren't compulsory! If costumes, makeup, or particular fabrics feel uncomfortable, you can celebrate in a way that works for you, or simply treat 31 October like any other day.

@autismbucks.bsky.socialHalloween can bring unexpected doorbells, costumes, decorations, loud noises, and people appearing at your door.
Decide in advance how you want to handle it. You might choose to participate, limit the activity, or opt out altogether.
It's your choice!
@autismbucks.bsky.socialSeptember can involve increased tiredness, headaches, irritability, sensory sensitivity, or wanting to withdraw may be signs that you're doing too much.
Ask yourself what you need — rest, food, quiet, movement, connection, or simply some time alone.
@autismbucks.bsky.socialYou don't need to become better at pretending you're not autistic. You deserve environments, relationships, and routines where you can be yourself and have your needs understood.

@autismbucks.bsky.socialMake sure your month includes things that bring you comfort, interest, excitement, or joy. Special interests, hobbies, favourite foods, music, nature, or time with people you feel comfortable around can all help you recharge.

@autismbucks.bsky.socialIrritability, shutting down, difficulty communicating, increased sensitivity, exhaustion, or needing to withdraw can all be signs that you're reaching your limit.
Learn to recognise your own early warning signs before you become completely overwhelmed.
@autismbucks.bsky.socialIf September feels busy, reduce unnecessary decision-making. Prepare your meals in advance, repeat favourite outfits, automate reminders, organise your belongings, & create simple systems for tasks you regularly forget.
