My youngest son is non-verbal autistic so finding anything fun related that he would be interested in is a challenge at times. Even trick or treating he could care less about or just doesn't understand what the night is about. However put him in a room or at an event with all of his favorite sensory toys, equipment, or games he is 100% all about. Honestly who wouldn't be?! Autism acceptance and knowledge is something that it seems like some places are starting to understand a little bit more, and I pray that it just continues to grow.
