Problem: Article: This could include panties, a bra, a camisole, and any other apparel you normally like wearing under your clothing. If your salwar kameez is transparent, you may want to wear a camisole or tank top underneath. If you don’t have a tank top that matches or compliments the color of your kameez, a white one will do. The salwar will generally have either a drawstring or elastic waist. If the pants have a drawstring, it goes to the front. You can also use pockets to determine front from back, as your hands should be able to slide into the pockets easily and naturally when the pants are on the right way.  Put the pants on as you would any other pants, with one leg through each pant hole. Position the waistband at your waist (just above your belly button). Pull the drawstring tighter to keep the pants in place, then tie the string into a bow. If the pants are tapered at the bottom, position them so your pant legs aren't twisted. The second part of the outfit is the shirt, and it’s always easier to put this on after you have the pants on. Depending on the style, you may have to pull the shirt over your head, you may slip it on and button it down the front, or the shirt may come together in the back with loops. When pulling on the shirt, be sure that you don’t catch any beads, hooks, or special designs on your hair or other garments. Sandals and heels are the most common shoes worn with the salwar kameez, so your shoes may just slip on. However, if you're wearing sandals, be sure to tighten and attach straps properly so that they don’t slip off when your walking.
Summary: Put on your regular undergarments. Put on the pants. Pull on the tunic. Put on your shoes.

Problem: Article: You don't want to end up watching a horror movie all by yourself. Even though you logically know it isn't real, it can still deeply scare you if your mind gets too involved. If horror movies truly scare you, only watch with friends. Try not to watch with the types of friends who'll use your fear against you later by jumping out of closets and grabbing you from behind. What you can't see or hear can't hurt you. When you can't stand what's on the screen, close your eyes and put your head in your lap and press your hands over your ears. If you want to ensure that you won't open your eyes too soon, have a friend poke you when it's safe to look. Again, do not employ a trickster type who will intentionally poke you right when a violent stabbing is occurring. No one is forcing you to watch the movie (hopefully), so just get up and leave if you hate it. Wait in a well-lit room for the thing to end so you don't have to endure another second. If you hate horror movies so much that you can't stand to watch them, that's nothing to be ashamed of. It just means you're sensitive to pain and violence and have great empathy for your fellow humans. Tell this to your friends if they give you a hard time.
Summary: Make sure your friends don't leave the room. Cover your eyes and ears when necessary. Have a "safe" signal with a friend. Leave if you really aren't enjoying it.

Problem: Article: You can improve your older dog's appetite by feeding it at the same time every day. Most senior dogs should eat twice a day, or as recommended by your veterinarian. For example, try feeding your older dog at 8:00 in the morning and again at 5:00 in the evening. If your dog doesn't consume all its food right away, you can leave it out for the dog to eat as it desires. One way to increase your senior dog's appetite is to reduce snacking. Cut back on the amount of treats you feed your dog. If you feed your dog table scraps, you can also try cutting back on scraps. If reducing the amount of snacks your dog eats doesn't increase its appetite, try eliminating these treats altogether. Sometimes an older dog will refuse to eat due to an uncomfortable feeding situation, such as the presence of other pets. This is especially true if there is another dog that is aggressive. Try feeding your dog in a space free from other dogs and distractions, such as a comfortable, closed off room.
Summary: Set a regular feeding schedule. Cut back on snacks. Don't feed your dog around other pets.

Problem: Article: The UN states that disabled children have a right to preservation of identity, i.e., to be themselves even if it means looking autistic. Research has shown that autistic people who attempt to "camouflage" their autism are at significantly higher risk of suicide. A good therapist will value the person's individuality and mental health by allowing and encouraging them to be different. They should not try to remove autistic behaviors or characteristics like...    Most stimming (You may hear phrases such as "quiet hands" and "table ready" to indicate suppression of stims.) Toe-walking  Avoidance of eye contact  Introversion or a desire for a quiet social life Other quirks (Fitting in should be a personal choice, not forced by others.) Some therapists train autistic people to show facial expressions or body language that suggest happiness, regardless of their actual feelings. All people need to be able to express their feelings.   No one should be pushed to smile or act happy if they do not feel happy. Dog trainers consider dogs that have been trained not to growl or show aggression as "time bomb dogs" that are likely to attack seemingly "out of nowhere." This is because stopping a dog from acting out will not stop the fear and anxiety that caused the dog to act this way. Similarly, training a child to bottle up their distress is likely to turn them into a "time bomb" of anxiety and aggression. It may make their meltdowns more intense and unpredictable. Children should not be treated worse than dogs. Hugs and kisses should not be trained or pressured, even if it means hurting feelings. The right to set boundaries is important in arming your loved one against sexual and emotional abuse. A bad therapist may try in vain to make your loved one not be autistic; a good one will seek to work with them so they can grow into a happy and capable autistic adult. Therapists should focus on helping the person become a happy autistic person, not a non-autistic one. Good therapy goals might include...   Building emotion regulation skills  Finding comfortable and non-harmful stims, instead of extinguishing all stimming Finding ways to accommodate and alleviate sensory issues Gaining social skills in a friendly environment; these include assertiveness as well as making friends Discussing and working on your loved one's own personal goals Communication should be considered more important than verbal speech (including both behavior and AAC). Beginning vocabulary should focus on basic needs instead of parents' feelings.   Words such as "yes," "no," "stop," "hungry," and "hurt" are more necessary than "I love you" or "Mommy." Behavior should be respected, even as someone is learning to communicate via AAC or speech.
Summary:
Ask yourself whether the goals involve accommodation or assimilation. Consider if the therapist controls your loved one's affect. Consider whether the therapist is fighting or accommodating the autistic person's brain. Evaluate whether learning communication is treated as an essential skill, or a performance to please adults.
