Developmental Neurodiversity Association (DNA) is finally formed I applied for nonprofit corporation status on March 14, 2010. The Articles of Incorporation were filed with Secretary of State on March 16, 2010. It was approved on Nonprofit organization for people with neurological/learning differences that include Dyspraxia,Dyslexia,AD/HD,Autistic Spectrum,Dyscalculia,and Tourette Syndrome as well as other related conditions. The acronym,DNA suggests genetic. The official logo is the Metatron Cube and brain representing the complexity of the neurodivergent mind. According to Doreen Virtue: Metatron is also known as the archangel that watches over the Indigo,Crystal Children. http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q112/Astynaz/tn.jpg The 6 points,outside circles represent the 6 neurodivergent conditions that are going to be included for Developmental Neurodiversity Association (DNA) to advocate for. These are based on Developmental Adult Neuro-Diversity Association (DANDA). The top left - Dyspraxia The top center - Dyscalculia The top right - Dyslexia The bottom left - Autistic Spectrum The bottom center - Tourette's Syndrome The bottom right - AD/HD
like the diagram for DANDA's The Make-up of Neuro-Diversity http://www.danda.org.uk/pages/neuro-diversity.php
Mission Statement: To See that a different type of mind is not viewed as a deficient mind but has strengths and not just weaknesses
The Objectives of Developmental Neurodiversity Association DNA are as follows: 1. To help people with Developmental dyspraxia, dyslexia,ADHD, Asperger's Syndrome and related conditions reach their full potential by providing and improving emotional and practical support, particularly for those conditions for which there has been less provision such as dyspraxia. 2. To raise awareness and understanding of these conditions,particularly their assessment, their effects, their treatment and the inter-relationship between the different conditions 3. To establish networks of groups to help people with these conditions get involved in activities for interaction, mutual support, and education, provided that the activities shall be charitable. 4. To push for psychiatric reform that includes psychiatrists to have their patients do neurological and psychological testing and not just go by what they observe to differentiate neurodivergence from psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia,bipolar. It would help prevent psychiatric misdiagnoses and unnecessary medicating. 5. To push for education reform that includes multisensory teaching methods as primary teaching in schools to cut down on learning problems in school. It would help decrease unnecessary learning disability diagnoses,the drop-out rate, and misplacement of neurodivergent children in special education classes for the intellectually handicapped. 6. To educate about natural and chemical-free ways to feed and raise neurodivergent children. It would include raising awareness of alternative treatments,remedies that can be used in place of psychiatric medications. The organization is going to be like DANDA Developmental Adult Neurodiversity in UK, but it's going to be for all ages. Children and teenagers really need the help and not just adults. I made the objectives to pertain to all neurodivergent people. I included 3 other objectives which I am very passionate about. http://www.danda.org.uk/pages/home.php The nonprofit corporation is considered active on the date that Articles of Incorporation were filed with Secretary of State.

Thank You.I will do everything that I can to help my fellow neurodivergents and make DNA a success. I was concerned about the Saturn oppositions, and that could be being challenged by the status quo,rigid,conservative types that may want to restrict,limit,and block me. I also believe the aspects have to do with needing to be practical,grounded,and realistic. I can't advertise my organization as The Indigo,Crystal organization. I can't mention metaphysical stuff in my organization. My vice president,secretary is skeptical of metaphysical stuff. He shares my view of neurodiversity, and he is a Behavior Analyst. He runs an Autistic Spectrum and Special Needs Meetup Group.
I wasn't crazy about the opposition to transneptunian dwarf planet, Makemake. I do believe that neurodivergents,Indigos,Crystals are strong in transneptunian energy which I believe are overall energies that have to do with not only evolutionary intensified lessons,experiences but also ultrasensitivity,nonconformity. Sun-Makemake opposition fits that. The hard aspects can be about attracting highly nonconformist types. With Makemake being named after a Polynesian deity and not a European deity, I wonder if it will attract a lot of ethnic minorities. I believe the Sun-Mercury-Uranus conjunction is perfect for an organization that is all about striving for change and will push reform. I also believe that it can be good for internet overall. It might be great aspect for my website. I like the trines to Mars. Those can be good for assertiveness,motivation,enthusiasm,and energy. The strong Pisces influence can be great for compassion,empathy as well as dealing with ultrasensitive,emotional people which neurodivergents tend to be. I wish that I knew what time the Articles of Incorporation were filed so I would know the aspects to the Moon,Ascendant,and Midheaven.

Now things are starting to make more sense. I'm moving into the second half of my life with much more hope and joy than ever before, celebrating the real me and not burdened anymore with trying to be anything I'm not.
