In theory, parents can play a key role in actually teaching their autistic children to play. But while “playing with your child” sounds like a no-brainer, it can be very, very challenging for the parent of an autistic child. What’s so tough about playing with an autistic child? It’s not always easy to even capture the attention of an autistic child or to hold their attention for more than a minute or soOnce engaged, a child with autism will often prefer to do the same things over and over again, and it can be hard to break the patternChildren with autism will rarely bring their own ideas or energy to interactive play, so all the ideas and energy must come from the parent....

One of the biggest controversies in recent times for Pokemon games was the Pokedex cut from Pokemon Sword and Shield, which meant that only a few hundred existing critters returned to Gen 8 from past titles, compared to the usual national Pokedex including them all. Even though this is normally not good news to many players, the benefit of cutting pocket monsters from a new game’s Pokedex is that troublesome Pokemon can be temporarily removed to create a healthier environment, especially for competitive battles....

In response, the crowd of several hundred left-wing protesters—many of them masked—laughed and chanted, “ACAB! All cops are bastards!” A group of them continued to hurl projectiles like rocks, concrete and food at police. Some vehicles driving by had incendiary devices thrown at them. A nearby war memorial was vandalized with antifa symbols and messages urging people to “kill cops.” Videographers at the scene were attacked and chased away for filming....

Ubisoft is no stranger to success, with much of it coming from games in the shooter genre. From Far Cry to Tom Clancy’s The Division, Ubisoft’s action-heavy shooter titles often come around, and while few been abject failures, many have struggled to find a foothold in the current landscape. Be it for reasons out of the developer’s control, the lack of innovation present each release, or the volume of games that are available, Ubisoft’s current offerings like Hyper Scape aren’t gaining the traction its lofty name would typically bring....

Riot Games will start recording voice chats, but it won’t monitor your interactions per se. So, why would the gaming company do this, and what does it mean for players? Riot Games Will Start Recording Your Valorant Voice Chats Riot Games—the parent company of popular games like Valorant, League of Legends, and Teamfight Tactics—shared that it will start recording voice chats starting July 13, 2022. The announcement was made in a Riot Games blog post, which noted that it would record only English-speaking Valorant players based in North America at this time....

Persona 6 is a bit like GTA 6 in that regard; maybe it exists, maybe it doesn’t, but fans automatically assume that it’s coming. A fair assumption in both cases, but Persona 5 is widely considered one of the best RPGs of all time, not to mention JRPG. If Persona 6 continues to build on that strong foundation, it could become a genre-defining title. But for that reason and several others, it’s important that Atlus lets Persona 5 have its time in the spotlight and doesn’t rush into Persona 6 before it’s time....

Safari is probably the most important app on your iPhone or iPad. Some folks rarely leave it, other than to post photos to Instagram or reply to a WhatsApp. And yet, it remains quite limited compared to a desktop browser. You can use little bookmarklets, and of course, Safari integrates with the system-wide sharing panel, but it has been almost impossible to extend Safari itself. In iOS 15, that’s about to change....

From losing their key players due to injury to having a captain just two ODIs old. From failing in the batting department to trying new things match after match in the bowling department, South Africa were never able to find answers to the questions Indian camp threw at them. Here are few things that cost South Africa this series. #1 Injury laden South Africa Before the beginning of the series, South Africa were considered favourites with the likes of Quinton de Kock, AB de Villiers, David Miller, JP Duminy and captain Faf du Plessis in their ranks....

Steve Levy, Louis Riddick and Dan Orlovsky are returning to the booth to call the AFC West matchup in Las Vegas. They haven’t handled commentary duties for an NFL game since Week 8, when the Broncos took down the Jaguars 21-17 at Wembley Stadium in London. MORE: Can Patrick Mahomes break Peyton Manning’s single-season passing record? The trio has been ESPN’s alternate NFL commentary team during the 2022 season. Regular NFL viewers might remember Levy and Riddick from their time on “Monday Night Football” with Brian Griese in 2020 and 2021....

It has been a historic win for the Indian side in many ways. This has given the opportunity to Virat & Co. to give India it’s first Test series win down under and thoroughly deserves it. One year ago, every expert from the cricketing field was just discussing that 2018 will describe how the India team will play in the future. Yes, India has not been able to win series abroad till now in South Africa or England but the way in which they play cricket is just exciting to watch....

The court’s decision on West Virginia v. EPA, which takes a bite out of the Environmental Protection Agency’s authority to regulate carbon dioxide emissions, sparked swift reactions from climate conscious politicians and activists. President Joe Biden issued a statement decrying the consequences for public health, suggesting the ruling was aligned with “a long-term campaign to strip away our right to breathe clean air.” That is true. But what’s been largely missing from the reactionary discourse is a sense of the ruling’s global implications....

Tampa Bay lost a third consecutive game with Thursday night’s 27-22 home loss to Baltimore. That dropped the Buccaneers to 3-5, or the first time Brady has been two games below .500 in his career as the greatest starting quarterback to ever play in the league. That also means ahead of the Buccaneers having another tough matchup against the Rams in Week 9, they are now trailing the 4-4 Falcons in the NFC South standings....

Tony Stewart has missed the first eight races this season — and will miss at least one more — while recovering from a broken back. Stewart will return to action this weekend at Richmond, and Busch-Stewart comparisons have begun. MORE: Stewart and cohorts’ long winless streaks | Know Richmond | Trouble brewing? Tony Stewart (Getty Images) Soon after announcing his return, Stewart received the same injury waiver that Busch received last season, making him eligible for the Chase for the Sprint Cup....

What Did Twitter Change? With the goal of making the site more user-friendly to more users, Twitter released several updates to the platform, including: All text is now in Twitter’s own typeface (called Chirp) The display has a higher contrast between text and background The site reduced “visual clutter” with fewer gray backgrounds and divider lines All Western languages (such as English and French) will now align to the left to fill the screen, which will make the text flow easier and increase its readability....

A night when a new chapter will presumably be added to the Messi-Ronaldo saga, as new superstars like Luis Suarez and James Rodriguez will also look to leave a lasting impression on a rivalry that goes back more than 100 years. And yet, the Catalan locals won’t be resting all the burden of their expectations on the cast that will be performing at the Nou Camp. Instead, ahead of probably the biggest El Clasico kick-off in recent times, they will visit the Les Corts cemetery to conduct their annual rituals....

The previous game in the Marvel Ultimate Alliance series, was released a good decade after the previous entry in what was believed to be a dormat franchise. In retrospect, the Nintendo Switch is the perfect platform for the co-op focused, pick up and play beat ’em up action of this series. Marvel keeps on growing in popularity, and with new heroes introduced to mainstream audiences at a regular pace, a fourth entry would be a wise investment for Nintendo at this point....

Several reasons have contributed to this. And Mindy Kaling’s lack of sensitivity could be one of them. The show’s decision to race-swap the protagonist and two other characters has caused mayhem among fans. Kaling is the executive producer of the show along with Charlie Grandy, Sam Register, and Howard Klein. She is also the voice of the titular role, and has been slammed by netizens ever since Velma premiered on January 12, 2023....

Google Workspace is a comparatively expensive upgrade to G Suite, one that doesn’t really add anything substantial for most users. However, there might be an affordable alternative to Google Workspace. It’s time to familiarize yourself with Linode Marketplace and discover Nextcloud. What Is Linode Marketplace? Imagine you could set up your own server, based on your own specification, that was pay-per-use. On that server, you could instantly deploy the software you need to use on a day-to-day basis, all without hiring an IT consultant to set it all up....

For the past several weeks, the Raiders have been using a holder on kickoffs to give Daniel Carlson some extra hang-time, something that is done often in windy conditions when the ball keeps blowing off the tee but is rare in indoor facilities like Allegiant Stadium. The NFL, however, said using a holder outside of those exigent circumstances is now illegal. According to McDaniels, he cleared it with the NFL when the Raiders first started doing this....

Viewers saw how the children of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) and Laenor Velaryon (John Macmillan) were fair skinned, brunette lads—the complete antithesis of their platinum haired parents. Laenor also happens to be black, adding further mystery to the children’s appearance. House of the Dragon quickly explains the anomaly, revealing the boys were the result of Rhaenyra’s affair with Ser Harwin Strong. In George R. R. Martin’s book upon which House of the Dragon and its predecessor Game of Thrones are based, the Targaryens are described as having silver-gold hair with purple eyes that was so distinct it almost looked white thanks to their Valyrian heritage....
