What do feminists really think about Hillary? Why Hillary Clinton can and should change the way America cares for children and supports families? What those pantsuits really mean to women’s power and agency in a man’s world? Will voters accept a woman commander in chief? How can voters hate a woman chosen 17 times by Gallup as the most admired woman in the world?   These are some of the topics covered in the Amazon #1 bestseller Love Her, Love Her Not: The Hillary Paradox authored/edited by Joanne Bamberger.

The research I’ve discovered reveals that when you’ve decided you are going to do something, you not only increase your chances of being successful by priming your brain to make the right choices to achieve your goal, you also make yourself less susceptible to the impediments that might crop up along the way.

Autism is usually portrayed as a checklist of deficits, including difficulties interacting socially, problems in communicating, sensory challenges, and repetitive behavior patterns. This perspective leads to therapies focused on ridding individuals of “autistic” symptoms.  Dr. Barry M.

Dr. Prizant offers inspiring stories, and practical advice drawn from his four-decade career working in universities, schools, hospitals, and in private practice.
