Autism, Band and Radical Recpie: Pan-Fried Instant Noodles

Ingredients:
Instant Ramen Noodles
Flavoring (1/4 tsp  preferably)
Cooking spray


Equipment:
Frying pan*
Spatula**
Strainer or colander
Stove
Pot (the thing you make soup in)

* All Autism, Band, and Radical Recipes are non-stick friendly  because that's what I use.
**Use a silicone spatula on a nonstick pan.

1. Boil the noodles until they are tender.
2. Drain the water from the noodles using a colander or a strainer.
3. Transfer the noodles back to the pot and stir in 1/4 tsp of the seasoning in to the noodles.
4. Pan fry the noodles. For a nonstick skillet, the heat should be medium. It's ready to flip when the noodles get hard on one side and form a crust. Cook the other side if desired.
5. Serve.

Serves: Two or one, depending on your appetite

To the mother who wrote this letter:
 
If anyone needs to move, it's you. Babies and dogs use their voices to communicate and Max uses his voice to do so. If he bothers you, purchase earplugs and use them. Explain to your "normal" kids that he is communicating in his way. Prejudice such as this is a hindrance to the world, not autistic people.  There are people out there that will love and care for him. Employers will hire him for a job. If he is lucky, he will attract the attention of a nice girl, and maybe she will be autistic as well. Personally, I think he has a purpose and that his body parts can be donated to science if that's what he wants, but that's after he lives a fulfilling and happy life. Parents of special needs kids only want the best for their child. They do not act like they are entitled to special treatment. Instead, they are raising a child with additional challenges and don't  want that individual limited to their home. Go do this mother a huge favor and apologize for your hateful speech. You should also apologize to her son, Max. Go buy her some flowers and write a sincere apology letter. Learn how to play the flute and have an apology recital. Nobody wants to hear any more of this from you and a lot of people have the guts to tell you. Do the right thing and apologize or move. Either way, we are all better off without this offensive letter.
 
Sincerely,
One appalled autistic band geek
