A neighborhood in Alabama coordinated a special Halloween celebration for a young boy with autism on his birthday in early August, according to a report by ABC News correspondent Danny New.
The boy's birthday occurs during the summer, well before the traditional Halloween season, but trick-or-treating is described as one of his favorite activities.
To accommodate his enthusiasm for the holiday, 83 neighbors participated in the organized event, decorating their homes and distributing candy as they would in October.
The collective effort created a full trick-or-treating experience for the boy on his birthday, allowing him to visit multiple houses in costume and collect treats.
Video footage from the event shows the boy walking through the neighborhood in a costume, interacting with residents who had prepared Halloween decorations and candy in advance.
The report highlights the coordination required among dozens of households to stage the out-of-season celebration for a single child.
No further details about the boy's identity, the specific date of his birthday, or the exact location in Alabama were provided in the source material.
