Halloween 2018

Last updated on June 16, 2021
We wish you a happy Halloween 2018!

Being Dutch, I never celebrated Halloween. Now that I live in Canada, however, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to get a pumpkin and carve the Embrace ASD logo out of it.

A photo of a lit pumpkin which I carved the Embrace ASD logo out of.
Behold my latent pumpkin carving skills!

It was more work than I anticipated, but I had fun with it, and I’m quite pleased with the result.

Trick or treat

In the spirit of Halloween, we decided to summarize some of our more gloomy content in case you missed it:

A fear response to calm chemicals
Autism & addiction
Gelotophobia
How would an autistic survive in prison?
The effect of Moon phases

Land acknowledgement

Embrace Autism recognizes and acknowledges the traditional lands of the Indigenous peoples across Ontario. From the lands of the Anishinaabe to the Attawandaron and Haudenosaunee, these lands surrounding the Great Lakes are steeped in First Nations history. We are in solidarity with Indigenous brothers and sisters to honour and respect Mother Earth. We acknowledge and give gratitude for the wisdom of the Grandfathers and the four winds that carry the spirits of our ancestors that walked this land before us. Embrace Autism is located on the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We acknowledge and thank the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation—the Treaty holders—for being stewards of this traditional territory.
