The scariest thing about Halloween shouldn’t be trick or treating. If you see someone on your front porch carrying a blue pumpkin—or see a home with a blue pumpkin display—that is a sign that this particular trick-or-treater may be non-speaking or living with autism spectrum disorder. Not every kid can handle saying “Trick or Treat!” let alone answering questions about their costumes or saying please and thank you for the candy that has been offered by a kind-hearted stranger.
