Autism Canada doesn’t endorse 'singling out children' with blue Halloween buckets

has sparked huge online debate about what blue pumpkin buckets used while trick-or-treating actually mean.She claimed while out trick or treating last Halloween some homeowners waited for the boy to say ‘trick or treat,’ forcing her to explain the situation for the “next five blocks.” “Please allow him to enjoy this day and don't worry I'll still say trick or treat for him.”

“We believe that this practice singles out the child as being different,” Autism Canada said in a statement to CTVNews.ca. “If a non-verbal child goes trick-or-treating, the parent could put a little label on the costume or hand a card to the homeowner that reads: ‘I don't speak but I still want to tell you -- Trick or Treat? and Thank you!’”Alicia Plumer, also from the U.S.,

Wow, such a monumental thing to have to talk to people. Maybe think of it as an opportunity to promote understanding.🤔

Wel maybe ask the parents what they think and give them the option. Maybe they feel comfortable with doing this and I’m sure some don’t. Who cares. Don’t make this an issue. Next you’ll want them to use a pink pillowcase instead of a white one.

Blue buckets are also for the teal pumpkin project for kids with food allergies so children don't have to ask for a non food/allergy safe treat. My daughter doesn't feel singled out, she was excited we actually found her a blue pumpkin bucket

Just sounds like lazy parenting to me

I thought that was a weird idea when I heard about it.
