Meet Sloan, a 5 year old with autism who loves Halloween. This year, Sloan and many kids and even some adults on the spectrum might be carrying blue pumpkins to signify that they might need a little extra time or patience this year. To make this Halloween fun and inclusive for everyone, it's important to recognize that not everyone is able to participate in the same way, and to have extra patience and understanding.
