I think the Shaggy costume is a great idea. My DS with autism will not wear a costume so we usually figure out someting he can be while wearing regular clothes. In the past couple of years we have done train engineer (overalls, red shirt, bandana & hat), and Charlie Brown (jeans and the gold with black zigzag shirt). We don't know yet what he will be this year.
DS loves halloween for the pumpkins, but isn't really big on the trick-or-treating. He enjoys it for a little while, but then gets to the point where he has had enough. Last year he and his Daddy went TnTing for about 40 minutes. When they came home, DS handed me the bag of candy and asked, "Can I have a cucumber for a snack now?"
