article: Autistic children are mostly verbal communicators. However, communication and conversation are not limited to words. Being able to strike the right conversation in the right manner involves non-verbal cues such as body language, tone of voice, facial expression, and eye contact. Let your child know that proper conversation involves staying on track, choosing a good topic, taking the conversation in a direction that is interesting to all parties, and being able to sense others' feelings and steer the conversation accordingly. Autistic people often have trouble with eye contact, and may find it distracting or upsetting to make. Explain to them that non-autistic people usually like eye contact, and teach them some ways to fake it. Let them experiment and find what works best for them. Ask if they are comfortable making eye contact. If they aren't sure, ask them to look you in the eye. A few autistic people can handle eye contact (but for most it is painful or counterproductive). Discuss potential places they could look to feign eye contact: at the person's nose, mouth, eyebrows, or chin. They may want to practice on you, or in the mirror. Maintaining a good distance helps the other person feel comfortable. Autistic children may have a problem doing this, and tend to move too close to the other person. This can make the other person quite uncomfortable and does not serve as a good way to break the ice. The ideal conversational distance with an acquaintance would be about an arm's length. Autistic children tend to be focused and are able to talk about their passions for great lengths, while non-autistic children get bored with this. Explain to your child how to accommodate non-autistic people's need for varying topics. Using pictures, photos, cards, videos and computer apps, show them what a good conversation would look like and what the essential elements are. Teach them how to ask questions to make the other person keep talking. Sometimes autistic people have an easier time letting the other person lead the conversation, because it is less exhausting. Autistic kids might not understand the significance of emotional or non-verbal cues such as body language, facial expressions, and eye contact. Try teaching these as a game, just as you'd teach math or science. To assist them in picking up non-verbal cues, there are computer programs available that can be used to learn which non-verbal cues convey which messages and which emotions. This may also help them become more aware of their own emotions. Many autistic children are bullied or antagonized, and while you can't make the bullies disappear from the face of the earth, you can help your child know how to recognize them and handle them. Talk about turning it into a game (e.g. pretending to not hear or mishear, responding to insults with "Thank you!" and a sweet smile). Explain that this can confuse bullies. Try role-playing some scenarios and helping them select a few favorite strategies. Discuss how to tell a grown-up, and what to do if the grown-up doesn't believe them or try to help. Teach the phrase "I'm okay, you're mean." They can say this to the bullies, and use it to remind themselves that the bullies are wrong. Many autism groups and resources are based on the deficit model, one which emphasizes everything that is wrong with an autistic person. This can hurt their self-esteem. Instead, tell them that they are different, that it's okay to be different, and they face unique challenges. Try phrasing it as accommodating non-autistic people, rather than stating that autistic ways of communication are wrong or inferior. You can even joke how non-autistic people are "weird"it sounds odd, but it can really help them feel like they aren't broken.

article: Visit a pharmacy and look for basic creams, ointments, or lotions that help moisturize your skin. Rub a small amount of lotion or oil into your skin twice each day, choosing routine times to apply the product. Continue using lotion or oil each day until the discomfort goes away. Coconut and sunflower oil are great options for this. You can find them online, or in any store that sells specialty oils. Look in your local pharmacy for special lotions or creams that have a very small amount of hydrocortisone. Don't apply the product too much and only use it twice each day. Always apply anti-itch cream after using moisturizer, which will make the cream more effective. If your itchy symptoms decrease over time, you may not have to use the cream anymore. Rub the lotion or cream of your choice over the affected skin, then tie a moist piece of gauze around the eczema. Finish off the treatment by wrapping a dry segment of gauze around the wet section. Keep the wet wrap on overnight, or change once every few hours if you're wearing it during the day. Keeping the affected skin covered may reduce your temptation to scratch. Pick up a package of colloidal oatmeal from your local pharmacy or beauty supply shop. Fill your bathtub with water and pour in a grape-sized amount of oatmeal into the bath. Stir the ingredients until they're mixed together, then soak for 10-15 minutes. Once you're done bathing, cover any affected skin with your moisturizer of choice. This solution works especially well for children. Colloidal oatmeal is oatmeal that's been finely ground, which makes it a great natural remedy.

article:
Cat food comes in a vast array of types: dry food, semi-moist, and canned are the common types. Dry food is easily and efficiently stored, but cats go wild for the taste of semi-moist and canned foods. The latter types can add more fluid to the cat's diet than dry foods. In general, food type comes down to owner preference. Occasionally, a cat with a medical condition might need one type over another. Consult your veterinarian for recommendations. Like other animals, cats have some specific nutritional needs. They are "obligate carnivores," which means they need animal proteins to avoid severe health consequences. Ask your vet for suggestions about a good quality food. Cheaper products may not provide enough nutrition to keep your cat happy and healthy. Look for cat foods that list large amounts of animal meat like beef, chicken, turkey, or fish. Also look for important amino acids like taurine and arginine and fatty acids like arachidonic and linoleic acid. Avoid feeding your cat human foods unless you have cleared the food with your veterinarian. Some human foods can make a cat severely sick or are even toxic to cats (e.g., chocolate). In general, cats are fed according to age, weight and activity levels. They prefer to eat frequent, small meals throughout the day. Ask your vet for recommendations on what and how to feed your cat if you have any reservations. Follow your veterinarian's recommendations closely and make sure your cat gets plenty of exercise, as obesity is one of the biggest health issues facing cats today. Obese cats are more likely to develop diabetes when they approach middle age. Extra weight also contributes to arthritis, heart disease, and other health problems in cats.
