Free Speech: Parents Have The Right To Speak To A Counselor Who May Say Their Kid Is Fine

Imagine you’re a parent with a teenage daughter who has been struggling with her identity. Like many teens today, she’s being told that it’s good to try to be the opposite sex. You sit down with her to discuss what to do next. High on everyone’s list is going to a professional counselor to help her talk through tough issues to live a healthy life. But then you start looking for a counselor. To your dismay, you can’t find any counselor who can commit to a level-headed approach to speak with your child. What do you do next? Families across America have asked themselves that question as they navigate common sense and gender identity. But the lack of available counselors to helpfully address this topic is a government-created problem. And it is a problem created by design. Over 20 states and the District of Columbia now have laws that prohibit certain private counseling conversations between counselors and minor clients about gender identity. These laws only operate in one direction. They allow counselors to encourage children to think they are the opposite sex or seek irreversible surgeries to look like the opposite sex. But they prohibit counselors from encouraging minors to accept their bodies. The prohibitions apply even when clients desire counseling to help them align their identity with their religious beliefs, and even when the counseling involves nothing but voluntary discussions between counselor and client. Counselors who would be willing to have these conversations must avoid them or risk significant penalties. By outlawing private, consensual conversations like this, the laws violate a fundamental First Amendment principle: The government cannot silence private speech it dislikes while it amplifies speech it prefers. The government has no business picking ideological winners and losers. Those choices are left to individuals. And in the case of conversational counseling, the choice should be up to parents and their kids. Counseling works best when the counselor and the client feel free to speak openly. This freedom from the government’s weighted scale is especially important when controversial subjects like gender identity are being measured. To justify these bans, governments sometimes rely on statements from a few medical organizations. But those statements don’t empower the government to suppress speech. After all, medical organizations can be wrong and make decisions that conflict with good science.  Consider the history of peanut allergies. More Americans have peanut allergies now than ever before. Why? Bad medical advice. In 2000, there was an uptick in children affected with allergic reactions to peanuts. The American Academy of Pediatrics responded by recommending that children under three years old avoid peanuts altogether. That was the prevailing advice for over a decade. But the ungrounded advice made things worse. As John Hopkins medical expert Marty Makary, M.D., explains in his book “Blind Spots: When Medicine Gets It Wrong, and What It Means for Our Health,” avoiding early exposure to peanuts triggered widespread peanut intolerance, leading to more (and more severe) allergic reactions. The AAP later about-faced. Now the AAP recommends early introduction of peanut protein for infants. So too in the field of gender identity. The heartbreaking stories of “de-transitioners” who have come to accept their biological sex – but only after pursuing irreversible hormones and surgeries – demonstrate the harmful and irreversible consequences of rushing young people struggling with gender dysphoria toward life-altering procedures. Now, multiple European countries are reversing course and severely restricting these procedures, in a tacit admission that the headlong plunge into gender ideology wasn’t based on sound science. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 One study shows that many young people — especially girls — are steered toward identifying as boys without adequate psychological evaluation and counseling. And Dr. Hilary Cass, former president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health in England, recently found in a nationwide, independent review commissioned by the British government that the science related to using puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and permanent surgeries on children struggling with gender dysphoria is an area of study with “remarkably weak evidence” with “no good evidence on the long-term outcomes.” In this context, it is particularly egregious for governments to interrupt counseling sessions and dictate what is said. Worse, because the counseling bans only stifle speech that would help children talk through their struggles related to gender identity, the bans have the effect of pushing kids towards experimental drugs and surgeries as the only available response. But even more so than with peanuts, this push has dangerous consequences. The better approach is what the First Amendment demands. Give parents, children, and their chosen counselors the freedom to speak honestly about the clients’ goals related to gender identity. This freedom helps ensure that families can avoid the heartbreak of looking for help and finding none. And it helps ensure families can flourish by giving them control over the care they seek. * * * Bryan Neihart serves as senior counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom.

You’re never too young to practice affirmations — just ask this little girl who’s been teaching her baby sister to love herself! One mom was beyond proud when she discovered a video that her daughters had recorded together. Emily Banks had been wondering what her kids got up to in their downtime, so she decided to watch the clip. What she saw filled her heart with joy! In this precious footage, Emily’s eldest daughter sat down with her little sister to practice some positive affirmations. She told the baby girl nice things about herself, then patiently waited for her to repeat them. Although the younger child had trouble pronouncing some of the words, she seemed to get the idea! Mom was so moved by this wholesome interaction that she just had to share it on social media. @emilybanks5 My oldest baby pouring words of affirmation into my youngest baby was one of the most amazing things a mama could find #fyp #foryou #proud #proudmom #mom #momsoftiktok #momlife #kids ♬ original sound – Song-_- “They say go through your kid’s electronics to check for danger… so I did and this is what I found,” Emily wrote at the beginning of the video. First, the older child taught her baby sister to say, “I’m brave.” Then, she told the little girl to repeat, “I’m strong” and “I’m beautiful.” At the end of these affirmations, the bigger sibling tried to get her sister to practice some positivity toward others, too. “I love everyone,” she told the younger girl to recite. Screengrab from TikTok At the end of this adorable video, the two sisters shared an affectionate hug. Mom loved seeing her girls behave so sweetly toward one another! She was especially pleased to see her eldest daughter doing something so kind for her little sibling. “My oldest baby pouring words of affirmation into my youngest baby was one of the most amazing things a mama could find,” Emily wrote in her social media caption. This eldest daughter seems like an incredible older sister! We hope these kids never lose their beautiful sibling bond. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

Our Top 20 Works of Fabulous Fiction to Inspire Self-Reliant, Liberty-Loving Children and Teens

Author of Be Ready for Anything and Bloom Where You’re Planted online course Do you want to inspire your kids to be free and self-sufficient?  There’s nothing better than a good book to point them in the right direction. My kids are total bookworms, so I enlisted their help to compile this list of favorites. Some folks may pooh-pooh the idea of fiction as a teaching tool, but reading about a character who is smart, adaptable, self-reliant, and skilled can influence the way your child or teenager thinks.  These books are not all specific to kids in prepper families – many of them are just tales of kids who are put into situations in which they must rely on their wits and courage to survive, while others outline the dangers of too much government. In no particular order, (and just in time for Christmas) here is a list of favorites from the Luther Family Library of Awesome and Influential Books. I’ve included a little synopsis from Amazon with each book. For Younger Kids The Little House series This nine book set follows the adventures of Laura Ingalls and her family from their little homestead in the middle of the frigid Northern forest of her younger years through the journey west on a wagon train, farming, education in a one-room schoolhouse, up until Laura becomes an adult and gets married. Order it here. The Boxcar Children series There’s something about orphans struggling to get by that inspires great works of fiction, and this vintage series is no exception. The Alden children begin their adventure by making a home in a boxcar. Their goal is to stay together, and in the process they find a grandfather they never knew they had. Order it here. Jake and Miller’s Big Adventure: A Prepper’s Book for Kids The world can be a scary place! There are snowstorms and mean snakes, hot jungles and wild rivers. But intrepid adventurer Jake and his dog Miller aren’t scared —they’re prepared! In Jake & Miller’s Big Adventure, young readers discover it’s never too early to start prepping. Learning how to use life-saving survival equipment like canned goods, water filters, first aid kits, Mylar blankets and emergency radios can keep you safe, healthy and happy even in the scariest of adventures—whether you’re deep in the jungle or hunkering down at home. Order it here. An Island Called Liberty  “This book is a cross between Dr. Seuss and Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged,” writes the publisher. Younger children will enjoy the rhyming verse and beautiful, full-color illustrations on every page, while older children and adults will enjoy the strong message that speaks in favor of free markets and against excessive government regulation, bureaucracy, and taxation. Order it here. Prepper Pete Prepares: An Introduction to Prepping for Kids (Prepper Pete and Friends) Prepper Pete works very hard to keep his family safe by preparing for events that may happen in the future… things such as power outages, bad storms, illness, and other disasters. Join our hero as he explores the many reasons to “be prepared” and fun things your family can do, too! Order it here. Prepper Pete’s Gun of a Son: A Gun Safety Book for Kids Prepper Pete works very hard to keep his family safe. When his son Charlie becomes old enough, they enroll in a gun safety class together. Join our hero, his son, and their friends in this fabulously illustrated book as they explore many of the important aspects of gun safety ***** A Note For grownups If knowledge is power, then in the case of firearms, “knowledge is safety.” Familiarity with guns for kids often helps avoid the “forbidden fruit” syndrome, which can create a safer environment. When they are an appropriate age, work with your kids to familiarize them with firearms, and always stress the importance of gun safety! Order it here. Founders’ Fables A unique and colorful conservative children’s book, “Founders’ Fables” helps families explain America’s most treasured values through the use of ten simple fables. These stories address the principles of the Founding Fathers and the concept of limited government through the use of funny and memorable characters. Each story, written in rhyme, begins with a quote from one of our founders and is followed by age-appropriate discussion questions and a short art activity to inspire the child to an even deeper understanding. Topics addressed within the stories include self-reliance, national debt, pork barrel spending, socialism, eminent domain, free speech and government intervention in business and private lives. This book can be understood and enjoyed by children ages 5 to 85! The only copies I could find still available are used.  Order it here. For Young Adults Island of the Blue Dolphins The Newberry Medal-winning story of a 12-year old girl who lives alone on a Pacific island after she leaps from a rescue ship. Isolated on the island for eighteen years, Karana forages for food, builds weapons to fight predators, clothes herself in a cormorant feathered skirt, and finds strength and peace in her seclusion. A classic tale of discovery and solitude. Order it here. The Hunger Games Trilogy  In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called, “The Hunger Games,” a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the Games. The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed. The series follows Katniss and her allies as they fight for their freedom from the tyrannical Capitol. Order it here. The Divergent Series One choice can transform you. This series tells a gripping dystopian tale of electrifying choices, powerful consequences, unexpected romance, and a deeply flawed “perfect society.” Order it here. The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon On a six-mile hike on the Maine-New Hampshire branch of the Appalachian Trail, nine-year-old Trisha McFarland quickly tires of the constant bickering between her older brother, Pete, and her recently divorced mother. But when she wanders off by herself, and then tries to catch up by attempting a shortcut, she becomes lost in a wilderness maze full of peril and terror. As night falls, Trisha has only her ingenuity as a defense against the elements, and only her courage and faith to withstand her mounting fears. For solace she tunes her Walkman to broadcasts of Boston Red Sox baseball games and follows the gritty performances of her hero, relief pitcher Tom Gordon. And when her radio’s reception begins to fade, Trisha imagines that Tom Gordon is with her—protecting her from an all-too-real enemy who has left a trail of slaughtered animals and mangled trees in the dense, dark woods…Order it here. Little Brother Marcus, a.k.a “w1n5t0n,” is only seventeen years old, but he figures he already knows how the system works–and how to work the system. Smart, fast, and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no trouble outwitting his high school’s intrusive but clumsy surveillance systems.  But his whole world changes when he and his friends find themselves caught in the aftermath of a major terrorist attack on San Francisco. In the wrong place at the wrong time, Marcus and his crew are apprehended by the Department of Homeland Security and whisked away to a secret prison where they’re mercilessly interrogated for days.  When the DHS finally releases them, Marcus discovers that his city has become a police state where every citizen is treated like a potential terrorist. He knows that no one will believe his story, which leaves him only one option: to take down the DHS himself. Order it here. 1984 Written in 1948, 1984 was George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, Orwell’s narrative is timelier than ever. 1984 presents a startling and haunting vision of the world, so powerful that it is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the power of this novel, its hold on the imaginations of multiple generations of readers, or the resiliency of its admonitions—a legacy that seems only to grow with the passage of time. Order it here. Animal Farm As ferociously fresh as it was more than a half century ago, this remarkable allegory of a downtrodden society of overworked, mistreated animals and their quest to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality is one of the most scathing satires ever published. As readers witness the rise and bloody fall of the revolutionary animals, they begin to recognize the seeds of totalitarianism in the most idealistic organization—and in the most charismatic leaders, the souls of the cruelest oppressors. Order it here. Hatchet Thirteen-year-old Brian Robeson is on his way to visit his father when the single-engine plane in which he is flying crashes. Suddenly, Brian finds himself alone in the Canadian wilderness with nothing but a tattered windbreaker and the hatchet his mother gave him as a present—and the dreadful secret that has been tearing him apart since his parent’s divorce. But now Brian has no time for anger, self pity, or despair—it will take all his know-how and determination, and more courage than he knew he possessed, to survive. Order it here. Brave New World Aldous Huxley is rightly considered a prophetic genius and one of the most important literary and philosophical voices of the 20th Century, and Brave New World is his masterpiece. From the author ofThe Doors of Perception, Island, and countless other works of fiction, non-fiction, philosophy, and poetry, comes this powerful work of speculative fiction that has enthralled and terrified readers for generations. Brave New World remains absolutely relevant to this day as both a cautionary dystopian tale in the vein of the George Orwell classic 1984, and as thought-provoking, thoroughly satisfying entertainment. Order it here. If We Survive High schooler Will Peterson and three friends journeyed to Central America to help rebuild a school. In a poor, secluded mountain village, they won the hearts of the local people with their energy and kindness. But in one sudden moment, everything went horribly wrong. A revolution swept the country. Now, guns and terror are everywhere—and Americans are being targeted as the first to die. Will and his friends have got to get out fast. But streets full of killers . . .hills patrolled by armies . . . and a jungle rife with danger stand between them and the border. Their one hope of escape lies with a veteran warrior who has lost his faith and may betray them at any moment. Their one dream is to reach freedom and safety and home. If they can just survive. Order it here. Cabin on Trouble Creek After clearing enough forest to build a log cabin for their new home, Pa returns east to fetch the rest of the family, while young brothers Daniel and Will stay behind to watch the land. Pa had planned to return within six weeks . . . but something must have gone wrong. Now the boys must survive the winter with only a few supplies and their ability to invent and improvise. But are they alone in the woods? Jean Van Leeuwen;s engrossing novel of pioneer survival is based on a true incident. Order it here. My Side of the Mountain  Every kid thinks about running away at one point or another; few get farther than the end of the block. Young Sam Gribley gets to the end of the block and keeps going–all the way to the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York. There he sets up house in a huge hollowed-out tree, with a falcon and a weasel for companions and his wits as his tool for survival. In a spellbinding, touching, funny account, Sam learns to live off the land, and grows up a little in the process. Blizzards, hunters, loneliness, and fear all battle to drive Sam back to city life. But his desire for freedom, independence, and adventure is stronger. No reader will be immune to the compulsion to go right out and start whittling fishhooks and befriending raccoons. Order it here. Ice Drift The year is 1868, and fourteen-year-old Alika and his younger brother, Sulu, are hunting for seals on an ice floe attached to their island in the Arctic. Suddenly the ice starts to shake, and they hear a loud crack–the terrible sound of the floe breaking free from land. The boys watch with horror as the dark expanse of water between the ice and the shore rapidly widens, and they start drifting south–away from their home, their family, and everything they’ve ever known. Throughout their six-month-long journey down the Greenland Strait, the brothers face bitter cold, starvation, and most frightening of all, vicious polar bears. But they still remain hopeful that one day they’ll be rescued. Order it here. What’s in your library? Obviously, this list is far from comprehensive – it is a compilation of our own family favorites. Are there some books that you or your children found particularly engaging or influential? If you were recommending books to young people, what are your favorites in the survival and liberty genres? Let’s discuss it in the comments section. The post Our Top 20 Works of Fabulous Fiction to Inspire Self-Reliant, Liberty-Loving Children and Teens appeared first on The Organic Prepper.

7 Of The Best Dog Breeds For Autism

Dogs are called Man’s Best Friend for a lot of things – they are loyal, they provide companionship, they give us invaluable service and security, and are just overall awesome creatures that make our lives better. And the bonds dog are able to create with people, regardless of their disabilities, drastically improves life – a superpawer like no other. And for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) who need effective interventions and support to help them get through their every day lives, they might find an effective and powerful support in the form of four legs and a wagging tail. Hananeko_Studio / Shutterstock.com While all dogs have this incredible power of improving the life of those they touch, there are certain dog breeds that are better-suited for individuals with autism. These dogs have the temperament, patience, trainability, and the natural inclination to provide the emotional comfort and physical assistance that those on the spectrum need. In this article, we’ll guide you on how to choose the right dog, list down seven of the best dog breeds for autism, and highlight how these breeds can make a positive change in the lives of those on the spectrum. Choosing The Perfect Dog Breed For An Individual With Autism hedgehog94 / Shutterstock.com No two dogs are alike – and choosing the perfect dog breed for an individual with autism requires careful consideration of different factors and criteria. Criteria In Choosing A Dog Breed When looking for dog breeds for autism, it’s important to consider the following criteria to find the most suitable dog: Temperament: The temperament of a dog is very important when choosing one for an individual with autism, because it largely determines their effectiveness as a companion. They should be calm, gentle, patient, and should have the willingness to bond and show empathy and comfort towards their human partners. Response to emotional cues: Along with their temperament is their response to emotional cues. They should be flexible and be able to respond well to an individual with autism’s emotional changes like hypersensitivity, stress, or even meltdowns. Size and activity level: A dog’s size and energy level are also important criteria to consider when looking at the best dog breeds for autism. Some might need a larger dog breed that provides a sense of security. But some, especially children on the spectrum, might need something smaller that is less intimidating. Trainability: A dog breed perfect for an individual with autism should be trainable. It should be able to do things for its human partner to assist them with specific needs or therapy tasks. Certification: An individual with autism may need more than just a friendly and loving companion. In this case, a dog should undergo formal training to develop skills necessary to assist their human partner. The certification ensures that the dog has met the standards and has developed the necessary skills. Types of support dog: Support dogs come in different types, depending on your needs. There are service dogs, which are trained to perform different tasks directly related to a person’s disability. For individuals with autism, service dogs can help them fetch medicine, detect and alert an anxiety attack, prevent self-harm, and so much more. There are also emotional support dogs whose primary job is to provide emotional support and comfort when needed. Factors To Consider When Finding The Right Match Now that you have an idea on how to choose the perfect breed, it’s time to talk about different factors to ensure that the match between the individual and dog is perfect. Here are factors you should consider: Matching the dog’s energy level with the individual’s specific needs and lifestyle: It’s important to find a dog that matches the individual’s specific needs and lifestyle. Some individuals with autism may benefit from a high-energy dog that will help them engage in physical activities, social interactions, and play time. However, some individuals may need a calmer companion to provide them with the emotional and mental support they need. Family environment: Choosing a dog for an individual with autism is similar to finding the right dog for your family. You have to consider the family environment and dynamics, especially for children with autism. Some dogs have the temperament needed for an individual with autism, but don’t do well with children and other pets in the household. So, choose a dog that will work well with the individual with autism’s family. Choosing between adopting or buying: Making an informed decision between adopting and buying a dog is an important factor to consider as well. The dog should be from somewhere reputable so you know that it is healthy, well-behaved, and socialized. The Best Dog Breeds for Autism 1. Golden Retriever trofalenaRV / Shutterstock.com Golden Retrievers have a reputation among dog lovers as great family companions. On top of that, they are also one of the best choices for service dogs, therapy dogs, and emotional support dogs. So, it’s no surprise that they make it to the list of best dog breeds for autism. What makes them the perfect companion for an individual on the spectrum? Well, they’re gentle, loving, friendly, good with children, social, and most importantly, have a natural inclination to provide emotional comfort. They are also patient, intelligent, and training them is easier than most dogs since they are also very eager to please. 2. Labrador Retriever Along with Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers also have a great reputation as family companions and service dogs. Don’t believe us? Then we’ll let their track record of being the US’ most popular dog breed for 31 straight years do the talking! As one of the top choices for service dogs, Labrador Retrievers are affectionate, and can easily adapt to their environment. But what makes them one of the best dog breeds for autism? They are versatile dogs! Meaning they are highly social, so they love human interaction, but they’re also very attentive of their owner or handler’s needs. Furthermore, they work well with individuals who have depression and anxiety disorders. 3. Poodle Housh / Shutterstock.com If size is a non-negotiable and you’re looking for a dog smaller than a Golden Retriever or Labrador Retriever but is just as smart, then Poodles are the dog breed for you. Poodles come in a variety of sizes: Standard, Miniature, and Toy. So, you have a few choices when it comes to size. Furthermore, they are among the best dog breeds for autism because they are clever, highly trainable, affectionate, and social. And they can work well with children with autism who need a smaller companion. So, you can expect them to provide an individual with autism’s needs. Not only are they smart, but they’re also a hypoallergenic breed! However, they do tend to bark a lot, so they might not work well with individuals on the spectrum who are sensitive to noise. 4. Beagle Another dog breed that is a great option for individuals with autism who don’t want a big dog is the Beagle. Don’t be fooled by the size of Beagles! Because even if they’re small, they do have a lot to offer to individuals with autism. These dogs are gentle and affectionate towards their owner/handler, but not so much with strangers. They are the kind of dog that an individual with autism looking for a dog that can provide comfort and a sense of security are perfect for. Furthermore, they are an active breed, so if you’re looking to promote physical activity and sensory stimulation, Beagles are just what you might be looking for. 5. Saint Bernard PeopleImages.com – Yuri A / Shutterstock.com You might be surprised to find this dog breed in this list, but trust us, Saint Bernards are among the calmest dogs out there, and therefore one of the best dog breeds for autism. Saint Bernards may be intimidating in size, but they are known to be calm, relaxed, and sensible dogs. And they work well with either children or adults with autism. With their temperament, they can help create a sense of security and routine. Furthermore, they are sweet dogs and can perform simple tasks. They are also great for deep pressure therapy, which individuals with autism can highly benefit from. However, since Saint Bernards are so big, they eat quite a lot and might overpower smaller children in the family. So, make sure to think it through when deciding on this breed. 6. Collie A Collie is a naturally intelligent dog breed and there’s no doubt that they’re among the best dog breeds for autism. Thanks to their intelligence, they are easy to train, are focused, attentive, and therefore make great service dogs. Furthermore, they are quick to react appropriately to different emotions displayed by their owner/handler. Additionally, Collies are also known for their loyalty. And you can expect them to stay by your side when you need them most – certainly a companion perfect for individuals with autism who struggle in social settings. 7. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Lucigerma / Shutterstock.com Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are small dogs that can make big differences in the lives of individuals with autism. As one of the best dog breeds for autism, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is naturally friendly and affectionate. Because as opposed to other dog breeds mentioned above, this dog was originally not bred to provide any form of work or service other than warm the laps of their hoomans. They are known for their emotional intelligent and sensitivity. And they are also easy to train, are intelligent, can adapt well to different environments. Furthermore, they LOVE people! Whether it be with strangers or young children, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel will do well. How Dogs Help Individuals With Autism Thrive In Everyday Life Dogs leave such a profound impact in our lives, and the same is true for those on the spectrum. But how do dogs positively impact the lives of individuals with autism? Here’s how: Providing emotional support: Dogs are able to provide emotional support to individuals with autism, especially when they feel anxious or depressed. Fostering independence: Common errands that seem easy to us can be overwhelming for individuals with autism. However, with a dog’s calming presence, going outside, riding public transport, or simply walking in the park can become a lot bearable. Enhancing social and communication skills: Hoomans are naturally drawn to dogs! With one by your side, you’ll be able to engage in easy conversations where you’re not the center of attention. Providing security and routine: Individuals with autism can struggle with inconsistency and the lack of routine. But guess what? Dogs LOVE consistency and routines! Helping improve physical health: Dogs help you exercise when you take them on walks or when you engage in play with them. Providing sensory support: Dogs can bring a level of calmness that those on the spectrum need in moments of anxiety or hypersensitivity. Conclusion RMC42 / Shutterstock.com From simple companionship to helping save lives, no matter how small or big the action is, dogs have proven how invaluable they are to our lives. So, when looking for the best dog breeds for autism, make sure to carefully consider and research before making a decision. With the right match, a dog can enrich the life of an individual with autism in countless ways. They’ll be able to provide invaluable companionship, comfort, a sense of security, acceptance without judgement, and loyalty.

Sweeping StarCraft 2 patch balances the game ahead of impending Game Pass launch

Even with so many excellent RTS classics like Command and Conquer, Total Annihilation, and Age of Empires, there’s one series that’s always reigned supreme. For me, StarCraft is the pinnacle of the genre. The sheer amount of tactical depth is unmatched, and I’m a total sucker for sci-fi if I’m honest. So with both StarCraft: Remastered and StarCraft 2 finally making their way to PC Game Pass soon, there’s no better time to dive back in. Best of all, Blizzard just released a huge balance patch for StarCraft 2.
