83. Halloween & Autism: Managing Candy, Sensory Sensitivities, and Selective Eating

In this episode of The Nourishing Autism Podcast, Brittyn is getting you ready for Halloween: sensory challenges, candy overload, costumes, excitement, and all. You'll hear all about blood sugar - why big behaviors around candy aren't "random", how low blood sugar can cause meltdowns or dysregulation, and simple ways to steady things with balanced nutrition before the festivities begin.

You'll also hear about sensory-friendly ideas, from adaptive costume tips to alternatives to candy that still feel fun and rewarding. Whether your child thrives with a low-sensory trunk-or-treat, prefers helping hand out goodies, or wants to fully join in the neighborhood fun, you'll hear practical ways to make Halloween feel safe, predictable, and enjoyable.

Have a Happy Halloween!!
