Halloween 2020

Last updated on June 16, 2021

Since I moved to Canada in 2018, we kept a tradition of carving an autism-themed pumpkin for Halloween each year. Click the links below to see our pumpkins from the last two years.

This year, we continued this tradition.

Out of the shadows

So in 2018, I carved the Embrace ASD symbol out of a pumpkin, and last year I carved ‘Embrace Autism’. But Halloween 2020 isn’t about Embrace ASD, or embracing autism; 2020 has been an ominous year, and this isn’t likely to improve in the upcoming months. But fear not—or fear more than ever before—because this is the year that a secret organization will finally come out of the shadows. They have been planning for world dominance since 1930, after Soviet scientist Grunya Sukhareva embarked on something big; something the government desperately tried to suppress out of fear of what terror could be released onto the world.

Behold, the Super Autistic Shadow Government!

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.
