In Remembrance

…And whose jokes will forever brighten his other half…

…And will loyally await his soul mate and brother…

...he's got forever to think of them, right?

…In Remembrance to Dobby…

…Who was more free and full of love…

...than any elf, and most humans.

She deserved everything she got and more.

…In Remembrance of Colin Creevey…

If someone has autism, this can mean:

Their brain works differently than others'. They don't understand facial expressions and emotions, and have a hard time showingtheir own emotions. Other people’s emotions confuse and upset them.

They have some trouble understanding language and instruction...sometimes we have to talk to them like they are younger than they are. They often seem not to be listening to us when we talk to them.

Everything stresses them out (trying to look at people’s eyes, changes in routine and schedule, doing unfamiliar activities) and so they try to stop the stress by trying to be in control of EVERYTHING and EVERYONE around them. Sometimes they might seem rude or bad, but they are really just struggling to understand things around them.

Eventheir own family can have trouble helping them sometimes, but you can help by:

--talking to them using a calm voice

--not making fun of them or teasing them

--realizing that people do their best to help him be calm and do well

--making sure you have their attention before you tell them something

Some of the symptoms or effects of autism can be:

--normal teaching methods don't work

--inappropriate laughing and giggling

--crying or tantrum

--acts as if s/he is deaf

--no fear of real dangers

--is upset by changes in routine or other things

--spins objects or own body

--extreme distress for no known reason

--sustained odd play

--has trouble playing with peers

--not cuddly; might resist touch

--little or no eye contact

--seems standoffish

--inappropriate attachment to objects

--may have trouble understanding language

--sometimes seems overactive, sometimes overly quiet

Copy this into your profile if you know someone with autism, or if you just want to spread the awareness.

'They're' is a contraction of 'THEY ARE'. 'Their' means something belongs to a group of two or more people. 'There' is an indication of something that is not in the immediate vicinity. THIS IS NOT THAT DIFFICULT OF A CONCEPT.

Just because you learned a new word, whether it be 'cerulean', 'phenomenal', or 'juxtaposition', doesn't mean you HAVE to include it several times in the opening paragraph.

IF ONE MORE OF YOU WRITES THAT SOMEONE HAS 'CURVES IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES', I WILL F--ING KILL YOU.
