For some, the blue pumpkin is a lifesaver. For others, a burden of its own. Personally, when I'm home and able to hand out candy, I treat every child (and not so much children as teenagers 😁) the same. They all get a smile and a chance to pick a treat, or if they need assistance, I will help them get a treat from the bowl and put it in their bag. I even have extra bags if theirs is getting too full. It should be a night of fun, not a night of stress or embarrassment.

That we need different colored pumpkins to make OTHERS AWARE is utterly offensive to me.
Why don't you put a dunce capon the kid.
This an issue with OUR not OKAYness with how the world perceives us and our children.
The issue ISN'T US!!! It's their ignorance.
Don't teach them by denegrating your child in public... teach them by showing them by example THEY ARE THE PROBLEM!
Nothing wrong with a child expressing itself the way they do.
The world has the problem NOT THE CHILD!
