There are different kinds of grass seeds, and some do very well if planted in the autumn.
BE CAREFUL, however, that you plant the same kind of grass which you already have, if you are filling in patches. Different grasses can look different! If you are filling in a larger space, sometimes it is easier to buy sod (but I prefer to plant seeds, myself)
Hope this is helpful

Autumn Grass Seed

Autumn is the best time to grow grass seed, it gets a chance to establish before the winter, the weather isn't too hot and won't dry it out and kill it. Just ensure that you do mow it on a dry day, and when the grass is dry, with the mower set at about 1.5 inches, makes sure that the roots don't get pulled out. Other good time is in Spring, worst time is summer or winter.

I actually put seed down last week and now have grass ,its one of the best times and swear went to bed one night and there had been no grass at all and in the morning loads had cropped up .I used Canada Green available in Argos (who also are doing 3 for 2) its a hardwearing grass that can withstand below zero conditions .

YES! Spring and fall are the best time to plant grass seed. Mix your seed with soil and a starter fertilizer and spread over areas. You will not want to mow over areas until the grass is about 2 inches high.

September / October is ideal moist basically seed to germ has to intake eg soaking peas before you plant grass is pretty much the same plus warmth which you get in Sept / Oct you also get dew and mist which helps to prevent drying out

Grass naturally self sets in the autumn, so you can, but the germination rate will be poor, and the birds may eat most of it before it has chance to grow.

Is better in a way cause you won't have to worry so much about watering. The soil has enough heat left in it for the seeds to germinate. If you're up north i wouldn't leave it too long though.

If it's a winter type seed, like winter rye - yeah around Oct.1
If it's like bermuda no - wait till Spring and the temp reaches 75-80 degrees

Yes as long as it has a chance to establish itself before the frost. Grass actually grows better in cooler weather.
