Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often face emotional and behavioral challenges, such as meltdowns, anxiety, and sensory sensitivities. Managing these can feel overwhelming, but with the right calming strategies, parents and caregivers can help children navigate these difficulties. From sensory-based techniques like weighted blankets and fidget toys to relaxation methods such as deep breathing and yoga, there are several approaches to support emotional regulation.

McLaren fucked it up today, there’s no doubt about that. To give the driver in p2 preferential stops and then act shocked that the undercut that almost always works, worked, is insane. And with such an insane strategy blunder, they put themselves in a lose lose situation.
Oscars say back whilst Lando gets the preferred strategy on multiple occasions and never pushed it or questioned it. Maybe he would’ve asked to swap places back had McLaren never mentioned it, but it would seem out of character.
Let Lando win the race and they’d have tons of people calling them out for blatant favouritism and saying they robbed Oscar of his first win. Let Oscar win and you’ve got the current situation.
Oscar has shown immense consistency and incredible performance for a driver who’s only in his second season, the fact he is that close to Lando and is capable of winning races is a testament to his skill and talent. Don’t let McLaren’s mistakes distract from the incredible driving we witnessed from both of them today. Both drivers are Grand Prix winners, both drivers are capable of maximising points and if they continue like this there’s a genuine shot at the constructors, but maximising points relies on both drivers trusting each other and trusting the team around them.
McLaren fucked up, don’t use that to take away from the drivers.
Kurogiri used to take walks with Tomura when he was young because he heard about the times Tomura would get ganged up on and he didn’t want AFO’s successor to accidentally die in a gang fight (by which I mean he’s a worried dad who doesn’t want his baby to get covered in more boo-boos than necessary). He made these guardian-ward strolls a “once a week” sort of thing, where they would run an errand or two so Tomura could experience better parts of the city and eventually visit a park to wind down if they neede a break from human interaction.
As he got older, Tomura could take walks whenever he wanted, now knowing locations that weren’t shady back alleys and were actually safer routes so he wouldn’t get dragged into a scene. Even so, he’d always let Kurogiri tag along on Sundays (as long as they get to stop for junk food… ok fine we can go to that park afterwards but the birds better not steal my chips).
hullo sensory issue people that know how to cope with this better than me: anyone have good noise-canceling headphones you’d recommend?? Preferably something less noticeable (or somewhat stylish), but anything effective is fine.
Pierre had a lot to be salty about today. He was p3 at one point, then they pitted him for softs (some kind of slicks idk) when it began to rain and then he had to come back in the pits again. Yes it is his best race finish with Alpine but I am kind of bitter about it in a way. Haven't seen much from his side all weekend but I will never forget about my fave
