Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Help the child to communicate with you using visual representation of their thoughts. Teach the child to ask for help using visual cues. Create a schedule for the child with visual cues. Reinforce and teach good behaviors with visual cues. Use visual cues to help a child interact with family members in a home environment. Create visual cues to help the child organize their things.

Answer: An autistic child does not always understand how to express their discomfort, anxiety or frustration. As a result, they may express their restlessness by becoming agitated or by displaying challenging and sometimes violent behaviors. Through the use of visual systems, a child can be taught to convey discomfort or their need for a break.  Create symbols that can help the child convey that they are done with a task. This could be a symbol like a ‘thumbs up’ or a ‘tick mark’. Create symbols that help the child express what they did that day. Some autistic children can find it difficult to talk about past events, so pictorial or visual representation could be helpful. Some templates can be used for this purpose. The templates can carry pictures of some tasks and activities such as reading a book, playing outside, eating, soccer, swimming. Pictures can also be used to teach the child how to ask for help. Some cards which specifically imply a child needs help can be held by a child and raised for the teacher to see when they need help. With time, they can be taught to do away with this practice and to raise their hand instead. Pictures and colors can also be used to create pictorial or visual calendars to help the child understand on what days they have school, on what days they do not, and to mark any upcoming events or any specific activities.  The calendar should be developed in such a manner that uses mostly symbolic representation. On the days when the child has school, a small image/photo/picture of the school could be put on the calendar; on days when the child has no school, a picture of a house can be used; if the child has an activity like soccer to attend, then a picture of a small soccer ball could be drawn. Color-coding could also be used. On the days when there is school, those days on the calendar could be colored blue; when there is no school, it could be colored yellow. Then other colors can be used to represent other activities. Pictures and colors can do an amazing job of controlling challenging behaviors and correcting negative behaviors of autistic children.  A picture of a red circle with a line passing through the circle indicates "no". This symbol can be used to let the child know that something - be it their behavior or their movement in a particular place - is not allowed. If a child needs to be prevented from leaving the classroom, then this symbol could be put on the door. If certain behaviors are to be prevented, a chart or poster showing all the behaviors which are unacceptable with a universal "no" symbol beside each of them can be used. This can help them to understand that behaviors such as ripping up paper or hitting others are not allowed. Through visual aids, an autistic child could be trained to collaborate with the family members to function as normally as possible. At home, for instance, the child could use visual aids such as pictures, drawings to cooperate with the other members in the family so daily communication becomes less complex. The child could be taught simple yet important tasks. For example, the child can learn how to set the table:  The places where the spoons, forks, knives, plates, cups, and bowls are kept could be indicated by pasting/sticking a picture of that particular item over the shelf/drawer/cabinet. Those places could be further highlighted by giving a specific color to those items - say orange for bowls, yellow for cups, green for placemats. The child is then encouraged to pick the items accordingly. Autistic children can struggle with organization. They might not be able to follow if you tell them that their toys need to be stowed in a particular area or their books need to be arranged in the bookshelf. Too many oral instructions can muddle their mind and frustrate them.[citation needed] To overcome this:  Designated bins/racks/shelves/drawers/baskets could be provided. A picture of the item along with the name of the item could be prominently projected To make them more distinct, colour-coding could be followed. A card with the picture of the item in a color that is specific to the item could be pasted or hung. The child will find it less complex to understand that all toys need to be placed in a bin, clothes in a particular rack, books on a particular shelf.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Remove all clothes, shoes, and accessories from your closet. Set up four piles. Try on each item. Place donations in a trash bag. Place items you will sell in a box or basket. Store off-season clothes and accessories. Consider all accessories carefully.

Answer: Take every item out of the closet and lay it out on the bed, table, or floor. This will allow you to examine all of your clothes. Having everything removed from the closet will also help you make more efficient decisions about what you should keep, donate, or sell. As you clean out your closet, you will be dividing your clothes into four categories – keep, store, sell, and donate. After you try on and assess each item, you will place it in its respective pile. Grab a trash bag for donated clothes, a storage container for off-season clothes, and a box for clothes you will sell. It is important to try on all of your clothes and accessories when you are cleaning out your closet. This will help you make informed decisions about whether you should keep the item, donate the item, or attempt to sell the item. You will need a large trash bag for clothes you decide to donate. Having one set up near your closet will make the cleanout process go smoothly. Go for an extra-large or contractor’s garbage bag if you anticipate you will be donating a lot of clothes. Once you decide to donate an item, place it in the trash bag. When you clean out your closet, you will decide what items you will try to sell. Find a large box in which you can place these clothes and accessories. The box will allow you to keep the clothes folded and free of wrinkles. You can also use a laundry basket instead of a box.  Folding the clothes nicely means you won't need to iron them before selling. If you are selling online, use this opportunity to take nice photos of the clothes to post with your online listings. Once you’ve decided what to keep and what to let go of, you can divide your wardrobe into seasonal piles. Take clothes that are out of season and store them in a container with a lid, like a Rubbermaid container or a basket. For example, if you clean out your closet in the summer, you can store off-season items like sweaters, gloves, and winter boots. Your cleaning mission should also include accessories like belts, scarves, and shoes. Try each accessory on with a coordinating outfit. If it's out of date, you don't love it, or it doesn't fit, get rid of it.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Think about the sort of things that you want to text her. Try to put humor into your writing. Be sure to read what her texts say. Don't always try to flirt with her. Be sure to eventually move beyond texting.

Answer:
It can be a good idea to start with generic things and build up to more personal things over time.  For example, you might tell her about upcoming parties and events at the start. Later, you can send texts telling her what you're doing and where you're going. Finally, you can send texts just letting her know that you're thinking about her and the sorts of things you like/love about her. (Do this only if you're in a relationship or you're not worried that she'll find that uncomfortable.) Texting her funny things will help make texting much easier. If you're a funny person, use that. If you're not, try developing inside jokes, playfully teasing her, or simply commenting on funny situations you both are part of. Respond to questions that she asks and also respond in a way that shows that you have read and taken in the things that she has been texting generally. She'll like that. Don't always respond immediately every time she texts you. Wait a couple of minutes before you text back. Switch it up. Sometimes, wait a big longer, sometimes a bit more. Don't lay it on thick, all day, every day. If you've started flirting with her, do it sparingly. A little bit will go a long way. Learn to make your texts a little more diverse by texting about:  Her day-to-day life. "Hows it going?" "How was your day?" and "Do anything fun over the weekend?" are all normal texts. Any problems she is dealing with. Let her come to you with the problems. Don't pry into her life. But try to offer advice if she seems open to it. Things that are happening in your life. You're probably giving her a lot of attention, and that's fine. But maybe, just maybe, she wants to learn about what's happening to you. Share what you're doing, who you saw, and where you're going. A little goes a long way here. Don't get carried away. If you start to develop a relationship with a girl, don't just rely on texting forever and ever. Eventually, you're going to need to move past texting and start hanging out with her, calling her on the phone, and going out on dates. If this girl likes you, that's what she'll expect.
