2. My nephew has autism. He is 16.

He is very bright and high-functioning, but he was disappointed most people didn’t dress up for school today. He will trick-or-treat tonight with his 11-year-old brother. A few people will refuse to give him candy. He understands it, sort of.

His 12-year-old sister was denied candy at the neighborhood trick-or treat on Sunday!

But as my sister says, where would you rather these young-to-mid teens go on Halloween night? There are a lot of ways they can get into trouble.

So keep your eye out for a 6’2” very blond Mario brother tonight. A piece of candy will make his day .
