Great Halloween advice for special needs!

Found this on Facebook and thought I'd share here:

Happy Halloween! A little Reminder: Tonight a lot of creatures will visit your door. Be open minded. The child who is grabbing more than one piece of candy might have poor fine motor skills. The child who takes forever to pick out one piece of candy might have motor planning issues. The child who does not say trick or treat or thank you might be shy or non-verbal. The child who looks disappointed when he sees your bowl might have an allergy. The child who isn't wearing a costume at all might have SPD or autism. Be nice. Be patient. Its everyone's halloween.

And the 19 yr old in the wheelchair dressed as a mad professor might be my ASD/CP child who does not understand that he is getting too old for trick-or-treating and his cousins are not! please don't judge, just smile and give him tootsie pops, Thank you!
