I know lot of us hate parties and refuse to go to them but what if an aspie set one up for all their aspie friends and he or she invited you or if your autism group decided to have a Halloween party, would you go?


I am going to one tonight and I am going as Po, one of the Teletubbies. I would go as a Rockford Peach but the skirt looks funny on me because of my belly and it's not complete. I'm missing the hat and shorts.

Yes, as long as I wasn't expected to put together a real costume. I'd just wear some odd things from the back of the closet that suggested costume.

i'd go as long as there wasn't anything scary going on except for a movie or somesuch. i hate being scared by a haunted house or people jumping out or stuff like that. life is frightening enough.

I wouldn't go to a Halloween party. But I have to ask Curmudge... anyone in your family from Ulter originally? Or is the avatar "suggesting" something to me that's not there. Whatever, I think it's a cool avatar. :)

I'd totally go! I don't know what I'd wear...because I wouldn't want to spend money on a costume. I love the tinfoil hat idea...I think I would make a tinfoil samurai helmet and wear a kimono.

We should get together an online halloween party for all of us misfit toys. :)

I've gone to quite a few NT Halloween parties, mostly in clubs or houses of people I didn't know, and honestly, had a pretty nice time. I think the costume factor has a lot to do with it. On a holiday where you're pretty much expected to put on an act, social weirdness is oftentimes overlooked, unless you're overtly being creepy (sorry, can't think of a better way to put it). I had girls initiate flirting with me at random, and reacted much like an NT guy would react. I still lacked the skills to take the situation beyond making out or even as far as that, but it was all a breath of fresh air. So Halloween is one of the few holidays I look forward to.

The only party I have gone to outside of family affairs was my friends Halloween party, all we did was watch Friday the 13th series. I was bored.

I would consider it if:
1) The music was kept down to where people didn't have to yell over it.
2) Nothing jumps out at me.
3) It is held in a big enough house or building to not be crowded.
4) NO STROBE LIGHTS!! !
