In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It is important to be honest with your child, particularly if they are autistic, or is wondering about an autistic friend. However, it is also important to make sure that your child is old enough to understand what you are telling her, and will not become confused or overwhelmed. Every child is different, so there's no set age to speak to her. It is up to you as to when you do have the conversation. If your child is autistic, err on the side of talking about it too soon. It can be stressful to feel like you are different, but no one will tell you why. Young children can hear something as simple as "You have a disability called autism, which means your brain works a little differently, and that's why you have therapists to help you." Let them know that autism is a disability, not a disease or a burden, and that it is okay to be autistic. Older children may benefit from being introduced to the concept of neurodiversity and the disability rights movement. Encourage a child to see the good in an autistic friend, sibling, or classmate. For example, "Yes, Lola does have a hard time talking and dealing with big emotions sometimes. I've noticed that she's sweet, and good at art. What do you think Lola is good at?" Help your autistic child to understand that their differences make them unique and special. Explain the strengths of autism: strong sense of logic and ethics, compassion, deep passions, focus, loyalty, and desire to help (social responsibility). Make sure you encourage your child, telling them that their autism makes them different but not lesser. Your child can still comfortably take part in school and home activities and lead a happy life. Always tell your child how much you love and care for them. It's important to have proper support, particularly when facing a life with a disability, and with help your child can live a happy, productive life.
Summary: Make sure your child is ready to have the discussion. Explain to your child that autism is nothing to feel sad about. Encourage your child. Make sure to express your love for your autistic child.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Parmesan has a salty, strong taste that only gets stronger with age. Add it to pasta sauces, either on top of the dish or into the sauce as it cooks, to create a deeper flavor. Add parmesan rinds to soups, like minestrone, to achieve the same effect. Dried or cured anchovies add a salty, fishy flavor to food, and can be used in many dishes. Make anchovy butter, by combining anchovies and soft butter, to top toast or steaks. Add anchovy paste to pasta sauces to bring out the flavor of the tomatoes and create a more rounded flavor. Mushrooms have a lot of natural umami flavor, and it's even stronger when they're dried. Add mushrooms to pasta sauce. Chopped or sliced, cooked mushrooms work in white or red sauces. Use dried mushrooms in soups. Add porcini or shiitake mushrooms to soups or ramen to bring out the most flavor. Like mushrooms, tomatoes have natural umami flavor, as well as sweetness. Tomato paste is a thick, concentrated source of tomato flavor, and a little goes a long way. Add a bit of tomato paste in tomato soup, beef stews, pasta sauces, or even gravy. Kombu is a type of kelp, used often in Asian soups to make the base broth. Boil a few pieces of kombu, or other seaweeds, to add an earthy, fishy umami taste to soups and broths.
Summary: Add cheese to pasta dishes and soups. Use anchovies to add the umami taste to a variety of dishes. Use mushrooms. Put tomato paste in your soups and sauces. Add kombu to broths.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: These items are perfect for pencil holders because they are a good shape and can usually be found around the house. Next time you make a cup of soup, cook vegetables, or make beans, save your can. Simply rinse it out and set it aside so that you can later reuse it. Almost everyone has these and they are great pencil cans, and can be grouped together to form cool designs. You'll need to create a bottom for your holder but that is simple. Simply trace the circumference of your toilet paper roll onto thick cardboard. Then, cut out that cardboard and tape it to the toilet paper roll until it is secure. It won't look pretty, but it doesn't matter because you will decorate the roll. To create a cool grouping with your pencil holders, take each toilet paper roll and add a bottom to it. Then, group them together by using three, four or five rolls (depending on how many holders you want). Place the rolls side by side, or in a circular grouping. You can also cut some of the rolls to be shorter so that you have different heights for your holders. Mason jars can create the perfect, rustic look for a pencil holder, but can also be decorated to be a very pretty, simple holder. If you don't have an old mason jar you can purchase them at the store for an inexpensive price. You can also use a glass jar leftover from salsa or another product, or you can simply use a regular glass. If your jar has a label on it you'll need to soak the label to remove it. Fill up a large bowl with hot water and place your jar in the water. After an hour, check the label and see if it can be easily peeled off. If it is still difficult, place it back in the water and allow it to sit for another hour or so. It's beneficial to soak a label rather than pulling it straight off, because many labels leave a sticky residue. Soaking your label will remove any residue and give you a clean jar once you remove it. For this type of pencil holder you'll need a piece of wood that has enough depth to hold a third of your pencil, so about two to three inches. A log or thick branch can be a good a choice for this holder. Saw off the excess wood so you have your desired height. Then, take a drill bit (7/16 inch is a good size) and drill holes into your wood. Then, finish it off by sanding your piece until it has a smooth finish. You can drill the holes in your wood in any pattern that you'd like. You can drill 15 holes placed symmetrically in the wood or you can do a random pattern. These aren't the small cardboard boxes, but the taller plastic boxes that are circular or oval shaped. Simply peel off the label of the can once you have emptied out its contents and you are ready to decorate! Once you have finished using a shampoo or conditioner bottle, don't throw it away. Rinse it out and cut it to use as a pencil holder. Take off the lid and then cut off the top quarter of the bottle. If your bottle is taller or shorter you may need to cut a different amount. You can use an X-Acto knife or scissors to cut your bottle. It is now ready to be decorated! A bottle like this doesn't always stand up easily, especially if it isn't completely round. However, these bottles work great if you want to hang your pencil holder on a wall. Simply place a piece of velcro on the flat side of the back of the bottle, and then place the other side of the velcro on the wall. You can now hang it up above your desk.
Summary:
Recycle aluminum cans. Use a toilet paper roll. Find an old mason jar. Use a piece of wood. Reuse a crystal light container. Recycle an old shampoo bottle.
