Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Recognize that autism is lifelong. Quit measuring yourself and your child against other families. Teach your child about autism early on. Have the attitude that you're in it for the long haul. Learn from autistic teens and adults. Trust your instincts about how your child is treated. Love your child.

Answer: Your child will always be autistic, even as an adult. This doesn't mean they will be miserable, or that they will have a terrible life. There are many autistic people who grow into happy autistic adults. They don't have to be "normal" in order to have a good life. Your child is different, so it's okay if they aren't talking as much as Robert next door or reading chapter books like Amaya down the street. Autistic kids follow their own timeline. This doesn't mean that you're a bad parent, or that either one of you is a failure. You are raising your child, not anyone else's, so you don't have to do what they are doing.  Make goals based on building upon where your child already is, not where the developmental timelines say they "should" be. This might mean getting chapter books for your six-year-old, or teaching your fourteen-year-old to type. If you delay telling them, they may think it is something to be scared or ashamed of. Tell them early on, and expect to have multiple conversations over time. Use an open and factual tone of voice to indicate that autism is nothing scary or bad. Frame it in terms of strengths as well as needs. For example, "Autism is why loud noises bother you and transitions are hard. It's also why you know so much about dogs, and love nature so much. It has hard parts and fun parts." There will be days when your child does well, and days when they melt down or struggle to perform skills they could do before. Don't be discouraged. Sometimes finding out what isn't working can be as beneficial in the long run as finding out what works, so you know what to avoid. They can offer advice if you don't know what to do about your child smearing peanut butter on the floor or crying at birthday parties. Many of them went through the same things as children, and can offer a first-person perspective on what it was like. They can tell you what worked for them, what didn't work, and what they'd like you to know.   The hashtag #ActuallyAutistic is for autistic people to write things (which non-autistics may read), and the hashtag #AskAnAutistic is where anyone can post questions for autistic people to answer. Watching them can also give you an idea of what your child may look like as an adult. You know your child, you have experience reading and learning their body language, and you can tell when something is upsetting to them or too far outside their comfort zone. If you think that a specialist is not treating your child well, take yourself seriously.    Bad therapies exist. Therapy should not be grueling or painful work. If it often results in tears and frustration, you have a right to be concerned. If a therapist is making you uncomfortable, tells you not to trust yourself, or bars you from seeing the therapy, this is not okay. If you feel concerned about your child being upset in therapy, this is valid. Your instincts matter, and a therapist should respect them. It is okay to decline a certain type of therapy, or to decide to see a different therapist. You are the model of what others will think and believe about your child. If you treat your child with kindness and respect, others will too, and your child will grow up feeling like a complete and worthwhile person. It is perfectly fine to explain to someone that your child is autistic, but never apologize for it and never make excuses. Your child is lovable, autism and all.

Answer: If a marriage is incestuous, meaning the parties were close blood relatives, or bigamous, meaning a party in the marriage was already married or in a registered domestic partnership with someone else, the court will never find that the marriage was valid. Other reasons for a finding of invalidity are:  A spouse was under the age of 18 at the time the marriage began; There was a prior existing marriage but the marriage in question took place after the former spouse or domestic partner was missing for five years or more and is generally thought to be not living anymore; One or both of the spouses is considered to be of unsound mind or to not understand the nature of marriage and its accompanying obligations and responsibilities; The marriage was entered into as a result of fraud and the fraud was something vital to the relationship that directly affected the deceived party; Consent for the marriage was obtained as a result of force; One or both of the parties was physically incapacitated, and thus unable to consummate the marriage, and the incapacitation continues and is considered to be irreparable. To obtain an annulment you must meet the deadline for filing, or the statute of limitations. The statute of limitations for an annulment in California depends on the reasons for the annulment.  The statute of limitations for annulments based on age, force, and physical incapacity is four years within the time the marriage was entered into. For annulments based on fraud, the statute of limitations is four years within the time the fraud was discovered. An annulment based on a prior existing marriage can be filed at any time as long as both parties to the current marriage are alive. An annulment based on an unsound mind can be filed at any time before the death of either one of the spouses. Since an annulment voids a marriage and it is as if the marriage never occurred, the parties to the annulled marriage will not have the same rights as those who choose to get a divorce instead of an annulment. If there are children that came out of the annulled marriage, the presumption of paternity that arises from marriage is also void so in an annulment involving children, the judge must also establish the paternity of the children of that marriage.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose a party area that is contained, yet comfortable. Arranging your furniture in seating arrangements for 2-4 people. Set your furniture away from the TV. Keep extra chairs on hand.

Answer:
To increase conversation, your room should be just large enough to hold your guests and have breathable circulation. This will encourage guests to mingle and get to know people they might not normally talk with. For parties between friends, too close is generally better than too open. Clustering all of the seats together can make the room feel unbalanced and discourage close conversations. Visually divide the room into quadrants and place an equal amount of seats in each quarter. Unless you're having a movie night, TVs are distracting and inhibit conversation. Ignore the TV while setting up your furniture or even face chairs away from it to encourage conversation. If your TV takes up a lot of space and is removable, you may store it in the other room during the party. In case anyone is left without a chair and wants one, keep a few folding chairs nearby. If a guest wants to join a seated conversation, they can set up a folding chair to feel comfortable and welcome. You can also use throw pillows or beanbags for extra seating, if needed.
