She first spotted the blue buckets while scrolling through social media, and saw an advert for them in US supermarkets.
“It’s a great idea, you’ve got so many children locally that would benefit from these,” she said.
Sophie, of Pwllheli, Gwynedd, managed to find blue pumpkin-shaped buckets in an online store in the UK and hopes it will help Noa have a better experience.
“I’m very fortunate with Noa, he does love parties, different activities going on through the year – when we decorate the house, he notices the difference,” she said.
She said she had been taking Noa trick or treating since he was a baby, but said sometimes the experience “wasn’t the best”.
“I have had little comments being made towards Noa that he didn’t thank the people for the sweets, or he never said ‘trick or treat’.
“It’s very hard for me to accept it as a mother. I don’t like going places and having to explain that I’ve got an autistic child that is non-verbal.
“We’re in 2023 now and I feel children like Noa – and adults – should be accepted. They shouldn’t have to explain who they are or if they do have a disability.”
