article: Too often, non-autistic people write about autism without consulting real autistic people. They may come up with inaccuracies, laughable misconceptions, or extremely negative viewpoints on differences that don't hurt anyone. Autistic people can provide you with a more accurate and well-rounded view. The Autistic community often describes autism in a neutral or positive light. This may help you gain a more holistic sense of autism, as opposed to seeing only the negatives. Autism is a complex neurological condition that comes with several blessings along with its impairments. You may experience some or all of the following: Deeply passionate interests. These can lead to tremendous expertise, and possibly a very successful career or fun hobby. Helpfulness. Autistic people, in general, have a high sense of social responsibility, or the desire to solve problems and help others. Precision. It is often noted that autistic people focus on the small parts, rather than the big picture. This can lead to remarkable detail-oriented work, where a neurotypical person might be unable to focus so clearly on the individual aspects of something. Visual intelligence. Autistic people have tested higher on visual and nonverbal intelligence tests. Sincerity. Autistic people tend to mean what they say, and act as a "voice of reason" without becoming mired in social complexities. Your honesty and genuine spirit can feel refreshing to others. Creativity and a unique perspective. Autistic people can learn in unusual ways. This provides insights that neurotypicals may never realize, and can become a great asset in collaboration. Plenty of famous people have been diagnosed or thought to be autistic. Strong special interests, focus, and a unique perspective can lead to innovation and creativity. Historically, Einstein, Thomas Jefferson, Emily Dickinson, Mozart, and more people were thought to be autistic. Famous autistic people today include Tim Burton, Susan Boyle, Adam Young (from Owl City), Temple Grandin and more. Special interests are a clear upside of autism: you have an incredible memory about these facts, intense focus, and the ability to act like a walking encyclopedia of information whenever you want. You also get to have a lot of fun doing the things you love. Most non-autistic people would be jealous of the way you can recall and discuss information. The social model holds that disability is not caused by defects in the brain or body, but by society's failure to accommodate and accept a certain variation. For example, most nearsighted people are not disabled: they are fully accommodated within society (glasses, contacts), and have the same opportunities that non-nearsighted people have. Their body can't do the same things, but technology makes up for that, so it is not an issue.

Write an article based on this "Eat small, frequent meals throughout the day. Choose lean proteins. Add spice to your favorite foods."
article: Extending the time between meals makes your body go into "starvation mode," which decreases your metabolism as a means to conserve energy and prevent starvation. While some people are able to lose weight through intermittent fasting, most people generally eat less overall when they eat small, frequent meals. In addition to having four to six small meals per day, eating healthy snacks will also increase metabolism. Packing extra non-perishable snacks and keeping them on you is helpful. You never know when a train will be delayed or when you'll be stuck at the office. If you allow yourself to get hungry, you'll end up eating something you shouldn't and your diet will go out the window. Eating a diet rich in lean proteins will increase your metabolism because it takes more energy for your body to digest the protein. Choose lean proteins like turkey, fish, eggs, beans, and tofu. Cottage cheese is a good source of casein protein. Eating cottage cheese, particularly before bed, is a good idea because it releases slowly into the body, and as a result, your metabolism is working all night. Adding spicy peppers, crushed red pepper flakes, or cayenne pepper to your recipes can help increase your metabolism. The effects of eating spicy foods are only temporary, but you can add a little spice to one or more of your meals every day to keep getting the metabolism boosting benefits. Hot sauce is another great addition to any meal. Not only does it help to increase your metabolism, but it doesn't have many calories, if any (depending on brand). Keep in mind that although spicy foods do increase metabolism, they only increase metabolism by about 8%, so it is still important to watch your calories if you are trying to lose weight.

Write an article based on this "Have your students place their sketchbook on their lap under a table or desk. Ask your students to draw the contours of a simple object. Have your students observe their contour drawings. Repeat the exercise with more complex objects."
article:
They shouldn't be able to see the paper. Explain to them that you're going to be doing a blind contouring exercise, which will help them learn to keep their eyes on the subject in front of them, instead of on their paper. Tell them that contour drawing and sketching are different. Sketching is about making lots of short, light strokes, whereas contouring is drawing the outline of an object with long strokes. Tell them to work slowly, and make sure no one is peeking at their paper as they're drawing. Their drawings will probably look very different than the actual object, and that's OK. The goal is to get them comfortable with observation. Tell your students to make note of any lines or details that are way off so they can correct similar mistakes in the future. Use a piece of furniture or have one of the students model for the class. Remind students to draw slowly and to really focus on the object in front of them. Set a goal for your students that with each round of the exercise, their contour drawings will look slightly more like the object.
