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. The last objective actually comes from the Doreen Virtue Metatron: Indigo,Crystal children card page in the booklet.

These are the objectives from DANDA:

The Objectives of DANDA are as follows:

1. To help adults with Developmental dyspraxia, 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 in adulthood, particularly their assessment, their effects, their treatment and the inter-relationship between the different conditions
3. To establish networks of groups to help adults with these conditions get involved in activities for interaction, mutual support, and education, provided that the activities shall be charitable.

I have already discussed with a friend of mine about creating a site for the organization which will include a forum and later on a chatroom for members to communicate with each other. It might also include a Second Life virtual world chat.

I have a logo in mind which I believe is a good symbol for the complexity of the neurodivergent mind.

so far there are 2 directors/officers - a friend/member from my neurodiversity meetup group that is a behavior analyst and myself. I just need 1 more person to be a director/officer, and then I will apply for the nonprofit corporation. I don't even care about the date. I am just leaving it up to God and the angels which I believe will help me because this is a great cause which is my soul's life purpose.

It would be a most wonderful world if all of us who had it bad turned it around for others.

You will be an Earth angel for others but do remember to not get so caught up in your divine purpose that your own legitimate needs get neglected.

I will take heed to your advice.

I would love to find a woman to marry,having children with,and will assist me in my neurodiversity advocacy. I want that more than anything!

here is the logo that I have in mind.
Combination of brain and Metatron cube to symbolize the complexity of the neurodivergent mind.

Love it!

You will find your mate exactly when you are supposed too & not one millisecond before.

Can I suggest a small exercise for you?

Every time you think about this need to be filled flip it to a tone of thanks instead of need. Thanks that she is nearly here by your side & give thanks for all the qualities within her that fulfill you.

It leaves you feeling more peaceful & encouraged to keep going.

I'm so excited for you Raymond that I'm bouncing in my chair lol.

Thanks for the advice.

I didn't like the black in the logo.

I decided to create this one. I gave it to my Shaman friend, Steve to give to his daughter who is a graphic designer. I am going to ask her to put more colors on the inside to bring out the Metatron cube more.

I actually printed out the metatron cube and the brain. I cut them out with scissors I glued the paper metatron cube onto the paper brain

this is how it looked after I scanned it
