Don't be haunted 👻by norms and perceived rules - leave them in graveyard 🪦

Help everyone enjoy their Halloween experience by considering a variety of lifestyles and needs.

Spooky lighting. Ominous fog. Peculiar clothing.
These are one person's halloween dream come true and another's nightmare. Luckily there are things you can do to prepare yourself or others to have an enjoyable trick or treating experience. And with any holiday event, when it stops being fun, don't be afraid to call it a wrap.

Looking for a friendly, quiet place to celebrate Halloween?
Want to practice trick or treating in a smaller setting?
Need community and nonjudgemental environment?
Come join us in the parking lot of our Spokane,WA location for Trunk or Treat, sensory bins, and games. If you are up for a slightly spookier experience, come inside the haunted clinic for some mild scares. We hope to see all your booo-tiful faces there 👻

LET ME STIM BRO!
Stimming can be a variety of behaviors from subtle to full body movement or making sounds.
It is a way to
✅ Regulate sensory input by adding necessary stimuli
✅Regulate sensory input by drowning out outside stimuli
✅Regulate emotions and the sensations that come with them
✅Help with focus
✅Releases endorphins.

Unless it results in bodily harm (like head banging), stimming should NOT be stopped , controlled, or restricted.
The stigma around stimming is absurd and unacceptable, especially considering we all stim on a regular basis (check out last week’s post for examples).

I don't have to tell you that fireworks are bright, loud, and rumble the surrounding area. For people who are hyper-attuned to sensory input, this can be too much. GIVE YOURSELF AND OTHERS PERMISSION NOT TO GO. However, if you do want to try it out, we do have a few ideas for you.
