🎃 A little Halloween reminder for tomorrow…

You may occasionally see a child or young person trick-or-treating with a blue bucket! 💙

Some individuals and families choose to use a blue bucket as a way of quietly indicating that the person trick-or-treating is living with Autism and may communicate, respond, or take part a little differently. A trick-or-treater might:

🎃 not say trick or treat, or say it differently
👻 not make eye contact
🍬 take a little longer to process and choose something
🧙 not be wearing a costume
🔔 find knocking on doors, lights, sounds, or unfamiliar people overwhelming
💜 communicate differently, or not use speech at all
🏠 decide they’ve had enough after only one or two houses

And that's okay! Halloween can be brilliant fun, but it can also involve lots of unfamiliar sounds, costumes, people, smells, expectations, and changes to routine all at once. But it can also be a wonderful experience, just a little bit different! So whether you see a blue bucket, an orange bucket, a carrier bag, or no bucket at all, the best thing we can offer children and young people tomorrow is simply a little patience, kindness, and a fun treat! 🎃💜

Happy Halloween tomorrow from everyone at Butterflies Haven! 👻
