INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Once they start to turn white, lift up the edges of the omelet with a spatula for a few seconds. This will allow any uncooked egg white to flow underneath and cook. Do this quickly; the egg whites will continue to cook even after you remove them from the skillet. If you want to, you can garnish the omelet further with some diced tomatoes or sun dried tomatoes.

SUMMARY: Cook the omelet until the egg whites begin to set. Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve it.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Look closely at the thread-wrapped bracelet when you have finished wrapping it. Check for any areas where there are visible patches of the bangle under the thread. If you spot any bare areas, wrap a few extra strands of thread around the area and secure the ends with glue on the inside of the bracelet. If desired, you could also glue an extra embellishment over a bare patch on the bracelet. After you finish wrapping the last strands of thread all the way around the bangle, add a dab of glue to the inside of the bangle. Then, press the ends of the strands into the glue to secure them. Make sure to let the glue dry completely before you wear the bangles. This will take several hours so leave the bracelet to dry overnight. You can glue individual items onto the outside of the bangle to decorate it. Try gluing beads, crystals, and/or sequins in a pattern around the outside of the bangle, or just add 1 decorative item for a small accent. For example, you could glue on an alternating pattern of red and green sequins around the outside of a white and silver thread-wrapped bracelet. Or, another option might be to glue a large blue crystal to the outside of a blue thread-wrapped bracelet. Choose a chain that will complement the type of thread you used. Then, apply the chain to the center or edge of the bracelet using glue. Apply glue at the ends of the chain and then every 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1cm) along the bracelet to secure it. White glue may not be strong enough to hold a chain on the bracelet. Use hot glue if you decide to apply a chain. Place the glue on the outside of the bangle where you want to add an embellishment, and then press the item into the glue. Add as many items as you like to the outside of the bangle to decorate it. After gluing items onto the bangle, make sure to let the glue dry completely before wearing the bangle.

SUMMARY: Check for gaps in between the threads. Apply a dab of glue to hold the end of the last strand. Secure a bead, crystal, or sequin to the outside of the bangle. Glue a chain onto the outside of the bangle. Press and hold the item for a few seconds after you apply it. Finished.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Most autistic children engage in unusual motor movements they jump, spin, twist their fingers, flap their arms, walk on their toes, and make strange faces. Like self-injurious behaviors, these motor movements are self-stimulating, but they are not harmful. Stimming helps children control their emotions, focus on tasks, prevent meltdowns from sensory overload, and feel good. (Tapping pencils, pacing, playing with hair, and tapping feet are all examples of stims that neurotypicals engage in too.) Never scold or mock your child for stimming, because this will harm their self-esteem and make coping more difficult. It is okay to casually let your child know that a stim looks odd. However, don't pass judgment or try to stamp it out of them. The stim may be very important to them. Let them choose whether it's worth the effort to redirect it or not, and give them your full support either way. If you spend lots of time engaged in playful interactions with your child, they will stim in moderation. Teach your child new games, and try to introduce imaginary play. Children who constantly stim are probably in need of more activity. Trampolines, exercise balls, tree-climbing, swimming, recreational sports, and going on walks can help hyperactive children get the stimulation they need, so they can sit calmly during school. Keep plenty of fidget toys around. Your child may not sit still, but mild/moderate fidgeting can be enough to help them focus. Talk with teachers and aides to ensure that your child's peers learn good social skills and don't bully your child for being different. Autistic children should never be afraid to stim. Your child may enjoy playing with a doll's hair or fidgeting with a tangle. This allows your child to choose when they want to stim conspicuously, and when they prefer to stim in ways that don't attract attention. Encourage your child to explore with different stims so that they can choose the ones that are most comfortable to them.

SUMMARY:
Recognize that stimming, or unusual motor movements, are a normal and healthy part of the autism spectrum. Teach your child that stimming is okay, and that everyone stims to some extent. Offer plenty of stimulating attention. Make sure that your child's peers understand stimming. Provide toys for stimming.
