First, I am an aspie.
I am also a teacher for students with autism.
I have a student who really baffles me.
She is absolutely terrified of anything to do with Halloween.
This is especially difficult in that she is in a classroom where the teacher goes all out to transform her classroom into a haunted house.

Have any of the parents here had experiences like this?
Does anyone have a child who is terrified of Halloween, Witches, Ghosts, Spiders etc?

If you check the "School" thread, some people replied to your query over there. :)
