fudging hate halloween

New year and bonfire night, all the noise and lights get me worse, can't stand Christmas and my best friend grew up so my routine ended for new year. Halloween is the only one that's the same, god help me when my mum is gone.

I hate it too, just don't get it. I only ever answer the door if I am expecting a parcel! Everybody I know knows not to just come round. Have friends who always have a big party, which i always avoid. 

In our street they are already decorating. I don't mind that. Some of them are very good. It's just the trick or treat that is an invasion of other people's well being.

Its awful from start to finish. Luckily this year I'm not home so won't have to deal with it bit usually when I am I turn out all the lights and watch movies all night

just stay in and watch tv or play playstation... pretty easy to avoid haloween although its annoying and invasive everyone knocking on your door begging for free stuff all the time and then getting angry and violent... yeah it probably needs to be banned.

Only Ghost welcome, in my house, is the Holy Ghost.

House over the road from me has done it! Just hope it doesn't mean they are going to try and come here. Maybe I should get some Christian tracts to give them instead of sweets - that should put them off!

I reckon in ten years time people will be decorating their houses for Halloween like they do at Christmas.  Totally OTT. 

I reckon for anyone who doesn't like trick or treaters, scare the living daylights out of the kids so much that you get the reputation as the house no one wants to knock on. Problem solved.

Little shits shouldn't be throwing eggs at your house.  That wouldn't be acceptable on any other day of the year.

Halloween isn’t my favourite part of the year. Constant noise from kids outside, constant knocking on the door... always remove batteries from the doorbell because it just keeps ringing and ringing... not a fan of it, no. I’ll be in my room this year, headphones on, pretending it’s just like any other night and hopefully my anxiety won’t kick up a fuss.

Can you do the same? Shut yourself away for the night and then get back to normality the next morning. Put on a good movie if you can and drown out everyone else.

Do you get forced to go with them? Can you be ill and stay in bed all evening to avoid it? Maybe it is wrong to suggest that... But if your family don't respect your autism as a reason to avoid it then calling it a headache isn't so different.

Stick a note on the door that says "No Trick or Treaters". 

We most certainly would not have been allowed to do this as kids.  It can be very frightening for elderly people to be worried that if they don't dish out treats their home might be attacked.  Certainly, I often get egg chucked at my house that does real damage.  

If kids want a halloween party, why don't they have one indoors somewhere they can dress up and bob apples to their heart's content without bothering anyone?
