(KMOX) - With Halloween quickly approaching, many are prepping their homes by stocking up on candy as they wait to hear the traditional spooky phrase, "trick or treat."
However, not all kids are able to communicate the same way, so one mom recently took to Facebook to shine light on how communities can be more accommodating for children with special needs.
She posted a picture of a blue Halloween candy bucket and explained that her son has autism and is nonverbal, making it difficult when neighbors require to hear "trick or treat" before handing out candy.
Instead of having to explain the situation to every house this year, they will be using a blue bucket to signify he has autism.
"Please allow him (or anyone with a BLUE BUCKET) to enjoy this day and don't worry I'll still say TRICK OR TREAT for him, ill get my mom candy tax later," she said in her Facebook post.
