Autism, also called ASD, is classified as a spectrum disorder in which an individual experiences challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, and speech/ non-verbal communication. According to the CDC, one in 54 children is diagnosed with autism. Autism is found 3-4 times more common with boys. Those diagnosed have both challenges and strengths. Some common advantages are learning to read at an early age, memorizing and learning subjects quickly, and logical thinking. However, they also face many social challenges. About 40% of those diagnosed with autism are social anxiety. Triggers of this may include big crowds or a group of people all talking at once. This also may cause self harm, such as hitting their heads or scratching their skin. Most of the stress and anxiety is caused by sensory inputs of the environment. sounds may appear to be blended as well, some very loud and some faint. This causes a very repetitive auditory sound, as well as some abrupt loudness, which ...
Introduction to Atoms: Nucleus, Protons, Neutrons, Atomic Numbers, Symbols, etc.
The parts of an atom are the nucleus and shell. A nucleus of an atom is located in the middle of an atom. In the middle of an atom, there are two different parts: protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge and a neutron has no electrical charge. We can remember this by using the suffix pro in protons, which means something good. For example, if you have more money, then usually that's something positive. With this, we can remember that protons have a positive electrical charge. To remember a charge of a neutron, we can remember the suffix -neut, which means none. Neutral for example means something with no marks. With this, we can remember a neutron as a particle with a neutral, or no positive charge. The shell of an atom is basically the shape. In a diagram, the shell of an atom will be shown as an unfilled circle or sphere. Electrons lie on the shell of the atom and have a negative charge. We can remember this, as there must be a positive, neutral, and negatively ...
Math Vocabulary: Easy Review
This post has not been fully edited or done. Triangles Isosceles Isosceles is when two sides of a triangle are the same length. To remember this term, you can notice the -sos is the word Isosceles. The s stands for the two sides, which will remind you that an isosceles triangle is a triangle with two equal sides. Equilateral Equilateral triangles are when all sides of a triangle are the same length. We can remember this by using the prefix -equal, which can stand for equality. Because the word equal is in the word, we can use this to recognize that an equilateral triangle is a triangle with all the sides in equal length. Scalene With isosceles and equilateral triangles being the first two, it leaves us with scalene. Scalene triangles are when all three sides are of different lengths. We can already infer this since there are no more possible combinations of possibility. (Either all sides are equal, different, or two sides are the same.) Angles ...
readtheory.org: How using this website changed my reading comprehension
readtheory.org is an app that I had run into while looking for some comprehension websites for my upcoming diagnostic tests. My reading comprehension has been quite poor over the last years, and after using this website for just about a day or two, my comprehension skills drastically improved! The thing that separates this website from the other comprehension websites is that it gives an explanation for each answer: how it is correct and how it is not correct. Another aspect of this website is that the format. The format is very clean and makes a good approach to readers who are not interested in improving their comprehension. Last but not least, the website also tracks your progress, when you improve or move downgrade levels, and gives you a goal for your age and grade. Out of all these three aspects, I would say the thing that aided me the most was the explanation of the answers. For example, readtheory.org taught me to not make inferences when not included in texts. There may ...

Why does warm air cover over cold air instead of sinking?
Many events such as blizzards and tornadoes, are caused by winds. But, how do they form? Blizzards form when two big areas of air meets. One air is warmer than the other and covers on the colder air. This is because cold air is more dense, more packed. Cold air rises, but it eventually falls and never expands, as warm air does. When we boil warm air, it creates stream. Steam expands and causes the mist to become very airy. We have tested this with an experiment. Discoverers put two tubs next to each other with a short pole between the two. (The pole is medium length, not the diameter of a straw.) The tub on the left contains water and ice, making it very cold. The tub on the right is contains dirt and hot lamps that are making the dirt hot. To test this experiment, the researcher puts an air gun in the cold water tub and puts the opening of the gun in the pole to transfer the air. The air successfully travels toward the warm tub with the dirt and the air from the gun ...
How to learn math effectively, faster, and comprehensively: (Apps, Tips, Answers, and etc. )
Key Idea Where to start off? Well, the first thing I must say about learning math is to learn it well. When I say learning it well, I don't mean learning it the basic way: I mean learning the way that is the most understandable. Many teachers can make things hard to understand and can hinder the way the students learn and process information. The easiest way to learn is to find simple explanations for harder topics. You can find these on YouTube. I highly recommend looking at this channel >https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEWpbFLzoYGPfuWUMFPSaoA. The Original Chemistry Teacher explains not only math but codes and science as well. They make the videos simple and very easy to understand. Many have learned things that were taught in 2 hours, just by a short 10-minute video. I have learned many things, including polynomials, the quadratic equation and how it is used, and binary code conversion. One of the reasons why some schools students are doing better than others is ...
How the American Revolution Started: (1775-1783) “The shot heard around the world”, Tea Act, Stamp Act, and more
Note: Information will be repeated to help clarify. An Introduction The Two Main Combatants Great Britain (also known as the British) -started the American Revolution with the French and Indian War. (This happened because the British wanted more money. They already had control over most of the colonies beforehand but did not focus on the states because of the battle. Since they had control of France after the French and Indian War, (which could make things more expensive,) they needed more money. Great Britain decided to target the colonies and enforced taxes on them, which would have helped them gain the money they needed.) The 13 Colonies (also known as America/American) -the original United States -consisted of 13 states: Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Virginia -controlled by Great Britain Other countries ...

How can I be productive?: 6 ways to become studious, healthy, stress-free, and accomplished
Many people have trouble studying or focusing on subjects. When bored, children mostly stay on electronics and browse social media, games, and messages. So, how do you suck yourself out of that shell? Here's 6 ways that can help. Think about the consequences Now, you may think this seems forceful, but focusing on consequences is one of the best ways to stop procrastination. For those who know about the consequences may choose to ignore it Let's say you have a homework assignment you don't want to do, and your favorite YouTuber just posted a new video. What would you do? You would probably click on that video, right? (You may even play the video while doing homework.) Well, before you do, stop yourself. Think about the assignment. If you miss the due date, what would happen? Your teacher would give you a bad grade, right? And your parents may even become mad at you. If your parents are not strict, then they would probably brush it off. All these situations are different ...
