72 - Halloween Safety and raising awareness for autism with blue Halloween buckets

Keeping a child safe is always a parent’s top priority. And on Halloween night basic activities like trick-or-treating could be hard. It was a mother in Hawaii whose Facebook post went viral when she came up with the idea of using blue buckets for kids with autism or who are nonverbal, like her 3-year-old son. A blue bucket is to help those giving out candy know that a child may be autistic, so they may not say the traditional 'trick-or-treat' when you open the door.Our guests include Tamra Mariott and Rebecca Zornitsky from Autism Speaks, Dr. Rishma Chand a pediatric intensivist at Dignity Health Northridge Hospital, Alissa walker from Curbed LA, Juan Capdet and his son Jordi and Amy Gurango and her son Benjamin.  Hit the subscribe button on this podcast and connect with me on social:Facebook.com/HalEisnerInstagram.com/HalEisnerTwitter.com/HalEisner
