My kids are having a dress up week this week and one of the days is dress up for what job you want in the future. One of my sons wants to be Spider-Man and will not pick anything else. I personally dont see anything wrong with it but dont want him to be judged for it by other kids or teachers say anything. He’s in pre k, only 5, and has autism. Should I just say scr*w it and let him be Spider-Man?? TIA

let him be spider-man - i bet there will be princess that day
You better let that little one dress up as Spiderman lol. When they are that age they don’t quite understand what an actual job is. Let him believe he can be spiderman and in 5 years, guaranteed he’ll have changed his mind time and time again.

To be fair, there are adults that are Spider-Man. My kids take pictures with them every chance they get

Let him be Spider-Man. He probably won’t be the only one!

Let him be Spider-Man!! When my oldest was younger they had a dress as your favorite book character but made sure to put in the note no controversial characters he was dead set on Moses which I thought might cause a fuss but it didn’t and he totally killed it! Another time for Halloween they were sure to say nothing scary but he was determined to be a zombie and he rocked it!! And no one has a problem… autism or not he’s 5 and if he wants to be Spider-Man when he grows up that’s exactly who he should dress as… we gotta keep the fun and creativity alive in our kids and if anyone has a problem with him having an imagination then shame on them but let that baby live!!! Spider-Man for the win
Let the boy be Spiderman! He’s 5. He wants to be a hero when he goes up. That’s a beautiful thing! Go save the world buddy. 
Let him be spiderman.
When my daughter was about that age she wanted to be a mermaid doctor. I never tried to tell her that there’s no such job. She could be a Marine Veterinarian. I always joked she would work at Seaworld one day. Don’t crush their dreams. He’s 5. Of course you can be Spiderman my little dude. Reach for those webs!

He’s only 5. Kids never choose a real career at that age. Let him be Spidey!
My son wanted to be a dinosaur egg. Not a dinosaur. Just the egg. He’s got autism too and this was around that same age 
I definitely would have let him go as an egg I would have explained the assignment thoroughly beforehand and if he insisted on being an egg, then an egg he’d be

If anyone asks he wants to be Spider-Man at Disneyland. Legit job 
For heaven sakes, yes. He’s only young once. 
He can be Spiderman if he wants
Let him be whoever he wants to be
Let him be spider man. Pretty sure the teacher would understand since he has autism.
Why is this even a question? I would absolutely let him.

My kid is 7 and doesn’t have autism and I’d let him dress as Spiderman. I can guarantee he won’t be the only superhero.
He’s in pre k…I’m sure most of the kids will dress like a superhero or princess. Pre schoolers really dont know what they want to be when they grow up, autism or not.
Of course why not? He’s only 5.
He’s five… Who is going to judge him and why would such a lowlife take precedence over your son being a cute little Spiderman
I suspect half the kids in the class would be Spiderman if their moms would let them. Let him.
My daughter dressed like gecko from pj masks for a whole month hahah (preschool)
absolutely!! Maybe he’ll be the best rock climber ever when he grows up, you never know! My son is 8 and wants to make his own video games 
Yes!! Let him be great! Being Spiderman is an awesome career goal!

Let him be spiderman. I’m sure that there others kids doing something similar
I would definitely let him dress up as spider-man… I would do the same for my daughter. I would support her in whatever she decided no matter how “silly” it may seem… because just showing support in something so “minor” will make the world of difference. It’s something they may always remember

Yep. Let him be spider man!
Spider man saves the world let him go
On the bright side one day when he’s all grown up you will look at the family album with his kids and you guys Will have a good laugh:heart:
You should absolutely let him dress up as Spiderman!
Kids in pre-k would think that is cool lol. I would totally let my pre-k child be Spiderman if she wanted to.
Absolutely 
my 5yo frequently goes to school with his costumes on lol. Not worth the fight imo.
You can actually grow up to be spider man.
Doing kids parties or working at a theme park
My autistic son dressed as Spiderman for a while year to go to school, until the outfit torn up so bad we had to throw it away and get another one. Let that baby do whatever is comfortable for them. Trust me it helps in the long run. Autism is awesome! They are really a blessing in disguise 
My 5 yr old wants to be a dinosaur when he grows up and we let him dress up as a Dino for preschool graduation. The kids dressed up in what they wanted to be when they grew up
Let that child be Spiderman
If that’s who he wants to be then that’s who he wants to be.
My daughter is 6 and wants to be a fairy when she grows up lol. Let him wear the costume.
At 5 it’s more than appropriate for a child to want to be a superhero. They think in imagination not logic.
Allow your son to be spiderman
