Autism - Living With Autism

Author: Rachel Evans

Do you know children affected with autism find it difficult to
communicate and to become socialized? There are two notions
about the existence of autism. One thought is that autism is
due to a bio-chemical imbalance, and the other notion is it is

communicate with others except to fulfill their needs.

Do you feel tense and anxious at work? Do your co-workers and/or boss make you crazy? Is your personal life less than blissful? If so, you’ve got stress.

While these strategies may serve as temporary diversions, nothing in your life changes when you return to your routine.

The Non-Diet Diet

The Non-Diet Diet

Author: Deborah Martin

Diets don’t work. If they did the U.S. of A. would be the thinnest, trimmest nation in the world, with over 40 million Americans spending billions each year on weight loss products. In fact, the opposite is true. The Center for Disease Control claims that at least 65% of adults are overweight or obese. With the growing list of woes associated with obesity, including heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes, the weight problem in America has become a serious concern. Yet we continue to look to fad diets as the answer to this serious problem - as if living on bacon and eggs, cabbage soup, or low-calorie meal replacement drinks could ever be construed as a healthy solution.

Whos Teaching Your Child About Money?

Whos Teaching Your Child About Money?

Author: Valerie Mills

Managing money is one of the most critical skills we must master to function effectively as adults. However, public school curricula rarely address this issue directly. Instead, teachers cover it as a side topic or as examples in math.

So, just who is responsible for this critical education?

WHO’S RESPONSIBLE?

PARENTS can teach "money" lessons as soon as their kids can count. Otherwise, your toddler may reach his own conclusions about "where money comes from." He may decide it does not grow on trees; instead, it comes from an ATM (Automated Teller Machine).

Should I Stay Or Should I Go?

Author: Annie Kaszina

It’s one of the ways you can spot a woman in an abusive relationship. They ask themselves the question, time and time again, obsessively.

Actually, it’s not the question that obsesses them so much as the answer. The hope is that if they ask themselves the question often enough, the answer will become the one they want. The desired answer is, of course,yes. Yes, they should stay because it will work out the way they’d like it to.

Gender and the Narcissist

Gender and the Narcissist

Author: Sam Vaknin

In the manifestation of their narcissism, female and male narcissists, inevitably, do tend to differ. They emphasise different things. They transform different elements of their personality and of their life into the cornerstones of their disorder.

Women concentrate on their body (as they do in eating disorders: Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa). They flaunt and exploit their physical charms, their sexuality, their socially and culturally determined “femininity”. They secure their Narcissistic Supply through their more traditional gender role: the home, children, suitable careers, their husbands (”the wife of?”), their feminine traits, their role in society, etc.
