I donโ€™t speak for every neurodivergent person obviously but for neurodivergent kids trick or treating- if anyone has an experience that has flashing lights or loud noises in like a haunted house- imagine if there was first of all- telling people that there will be loud noises or flashing lights- or anything else like that- and write that people who are neurotypical or are okay with those things knock- but people who arenโ€™t ring a door bell and perhaps have a quick conversation on what they could do to make the experience accessible then DO IT. Like a kid with photosensitivity or epilepsy? Turn off the flashing lights. An autistic person with texture aversions? Maybe move the fake web to the side, so everyone can experience the almost same experience in a healthy way! Someone cannot use their legs? Bring the experience to them or find a way to make them feel involved!

Probably a perfect world situation but I find this idea to be so smart and an excellent way of including people with disabilities who sometimes canโ€™t. I know from experience there have been so many events I couldnโ€™t attend due to over stimulation and I just wanted to put this out here Incase people would use this
