Q: Too many toys is always too many toys. For autistic children, it can feel overwhelming and crowding. It is better to choose one good quality toy over many cheaper toys that will clutter your house. If you hit the right choice, that one toy will provide many hours of enjoyment. There are numerous stores catering to toys for autistic children, offering advice and good ideas. There are also many, many guides on what toys to get for autistic children. Have a good read to inform yourself and apply the most appropriate ideas to suit your child every child is different, and every form of autism is different, and you know your own child's needs and interests better than anyone else. Find out what autistic writers loved when they were children. Consider stim toys as well as traditional toys. Some autistic children will do typical imaginary/interactive play with others, while tending to focus on stimming or systematizing play when by themselves. Be careful of websites that emphasize "appropriate play." The goal of these websites may be to make autistic children look normal, rather than to help them have fun and improve their skills. Encouraging the child's passions will help them feel supported and understood. (It may also eventually lead to a fulfilling career for the childa girl who loves fire trucks may someday design them.) Exercise is important for all children, and autistic children are no exception. (It may also provide an outlet for extra energy.) Encourage the child to play both by themselves and with others. If they are anxious by nature, encourage collaborative rather than competitive play. If you have an older child, they may enjoy going through the creation process with you. For example, show the child how to make yarn dolls, or sew a doll. Examples include balls, sidewalk chalk, art supplies, and sports gear. This gives an opportunity for the siblings to hang out together. This will help you or the parent bond with the child, and get to know how their mind works. It also provides an opportunity for the parent to model social skills in a relaxed, enjoyable environment. Autistic children are unique individuals who are worth getting to know.
A: Select quality over quantity. Search online. Look for toys that match the child's special interests. Search for outdoor toys. Consider making toys with your child. If the autistic child has siblings of a similar age, see if there are toys that they can share. Try choosing toys that encourage parent/child play.

Q: One of the trickiest parts of cooking fish on a barbecue is making sure it doesn't stick. If your grill grate still has bits of the last thing you cooked stuck to it, the fish's delicate skin and flesh will stick to the grate and the fish will fall apart. Clean your grill grate well with a stiff-wired grill brush. After you've scraped off all the bigger chunks of debris, finish the job by wiping off the dust with a dampened paper towel. If you're dealing with more debris than you can clean off with a wire brush, try this trick: cover the grill grate with a piece of aluminum foil, then light the grill and turn the heat up to full blast (around 550 degrees Fahrenheit). As the debris on the grill gets hot, it will break down and dissolve.
A: Clean the grill grate.

Q: You can draw a lot of inspiration from your pup's coat color. For instance, if you have a puppy with a brown coat, you could name him "Rolo", "Chocolate", or "Brownie". Or, if your dog has a curly coat, you might consider naming her "Curls". Look at your puppy's paws, ears, face, tail--anywhere. Are there any unique markings or other special identifiers that other dogs don't commonly have? For instance, if your puppy has two white front paws, you might think about naming her "Mittens" or something like that. If you have an especially tiny pup, or a huge dog, you could use that characteristic to help guide your name choice. You could even play off his size by naming him something opposite to what he actually is. For example, you could name your tiny dog "Sampson" and your large dog "Tiny". Given a couple of days, your new dog's personality will really shine through. Try "Cuddles" for the sweet little guy who loves to get cozy or "Puddles" for the pooch who can't seem to find the doggie door. Watch how he interacts with your family, or pay attention to any silly habits you might have.
A: Look at the color and coat of your pup. See if your pup has any distinguishing characteristics. Decide whether or not your pup's size could be an inspiration. Base your pup's name on his personality.

Q: If you have have an issue with someone in your personal or professional life that has caused you stress, you should address it with them. Share your frustrations with them without ascribing blame. Keep your voice at a normal, unraised level and show them respect. You might say something like "It wasn't cool the other day how you cut me off in the meeting. It feels like you do that a lot and I feel frustrated because I'm not able to share my ideas with you." Though you may be a person who wears their heart on their sleeve, if you are hoping to remain composed, you must keep your face and body language in check. You can display aggression and anger simply by your expression and how you position your body. Instead, mirror gestures that are positive, open and inviting. Don't have your arms crossed and don't furrow your brow together or frown. Sit instead with your arms in your lap or by your side. Keep a neutral facial expression, neither frowning nor smiling. You don't want to bombard the person you are upset with with massive amounts of grievances. Instead, focus on a few key points that highlight why you were upset. If you overwhelm them, they'll be less likely to respond positively and more likely to be defensive. For instance, if you feel upset with your partner after an argument, you might say something like "I wanted to talk about our fight. It really bothers me when you interrupt me when I'm speaking, try to shift blame to me, and insult me in fights. I don't think it's healthy and I'd like to proceed forward in a more constructive manner." Once you've managed to regain your composure and sort out your feelings, the next thing to do is to press forward. This might mean trying to solve the problem, or it might mean walking away from the problem completely. When rebounding into action, focus only on the things you have control over: your schedule, your actions, and your interactions. Don't fixate on things you can only wish might happen. Look for practical solutions. Ask for a hectic deadline to be extended. Seek professional counseling if you're struggling with a difficult relationship or an addiction. Many issues that we have in life can be avoided. As far as it is possible with you, try to live a life that is peaceful and drama free. You will feel happier and less stressed. Do your part to create a drama free life! For instance, if you have road rage on your commute to work in the mornings, you can try leaving a few minutes earlier so you have more time to get to work. Don't sweat the small stuff! Another potential issue that can possibly be avoided is coworker conflict. If you often get into arguments with a coworker who regularly interrupts you in staff meetings, you might pull them aside to have a discussion about it to avoid these issues in the future. You could also have a conversation with your supervisor who may be able to address the situation, as well.
A:
Be tactful and respectful. Control your facial expressions and body language. Keep your argument to three main points. Move ahead. Avoid future issues.
