Last night, Developmental Neurodiversity Association facebook group was created. http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=131944976821905

It is an extension of DNA which is to help people with neurological differences that include: Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Dyscalculia, and Autistic Spectrum, but neurodivergence can also include related conditions like Auditory Processing Disorder, Sensory Processing Disorder, and other things that tend to overlap with 6 main neurodivergences.

It is to help raise awareness and understanding about neurodivergence and neurodiversity. It helps people understand that the symptoms and traits of neurodivergent conditions overlap with psychiatric disorders. Developmental Neurodiversity Association (DNA) also wants to stress the need for multisensory learning environment in schools because neurodivergence tends to involve a way of learning that is different from the norm. DNA wants to help raise awareness and understanding of non-drug approaches to dealing with neurodivergent conditions including especially ADHD and Autistic Spectrum which tend to get treated with medication.

The neurodiversity movement is mainly an equal rights movement for people with neurodivergence and expresses that a different mind is not necessarily a deficient mind. Neurodiversity is an idea which asserts that atypical neurological development is a normal human difference that is to be respected as any other human variation.

Here is information on Neurodiversity: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurodiversity


Please feel free to join and spread the word.

"I joined. Thanks Raymond. Great group"

SunChild,

Thank you!

"I'm not on facebook anymore Raymond, though to you for going for it!!!"

AbsintheDragonfly,

That's ok.

Thank you.

I will be having a website completed soon,and you can become a member if you want.


There are 90 members in DNA facebook group since I started it last Thursday at 10 PM!

I am very pleased!


I am going to do an astrological post with the Geocentric and Heliocentric chart of the facebook group. I set it up during special configurations. There is the close Jupiter-Uranus conjunction. There is also Sun conjunct/oppose the Geocentric Uranus Nodes.

In DNA facebook's Heliocentric chart, There is an Earth-South Uranus Node-The Great Attractor conjunction,and that goes well with my Heliocentric chart which has Venus-Jupiter-South Uranus Node-Great Attractor conjunction.

DNA group now has 700 members! That is in less than 4 months. It reached 700 before the middle of this month which was the original goal. Right on! People are responding to the message. It's only the beginning!

I admit that I am a lightworker. I just didn't care for any New Age
labels. My mission on Earth as a lightworker is to help change the perceptions
of how gifted,ultrasensitive,rightbrained,nonconformist types that don't fit the
neurological norms of society (often referred to as dual exceptional/twice
expectional) are viewed and to help make the world a better place for them. That
includes pushing for education reform and psychiatric reform.

There was a reason that I made Metatron Cube Brain as the logo of Developmental
Neurodiversity Association (DNA). Metatron Cube is said to be the archangel that
helps the Indigo/Crystal Children. The non profit organization was made for only
the developmental,genetic neurodivergents. It wasn't made for people whose
neurodivergence connected to brain damage through toxins,vaccines,and other
harmful things. I wrote a post about genetic neurodivergence and acquired
neurodivergence including that they shouldn't be looped together and treated the
same. That's why I purposely have DNA as an acronym. It suggests genetic.

I embrace the neurodivergent label as part of the civil/equal rights movement
for different minds that aren't deficient. That's the Neurodiversity Movement.
Being a neurodiversity advocate and starting a non profit neurodiversity
organization are all part of my path as a lightworker.


One of my goals it to be part of a paradigm shift in the changes of perception of how different minds are viewed.


I don't know why this thread was moved to health and healing.


Neurodivergence is not a health problem....well genetic neurodivergence isn't. It doesn't require healing. It requires understanding,acceptance and tolerance. That's the whole point of the Neurodiversity Movement and Developmental Neurodiversity Association.


Would psychics,mystics,and shamans be be viewed as health problems too. After all, they would be viewed as psychotics,schizophrenics by psychiatric community which don't

Of course, they are not.

That's how I view genetic neurodivergence. Many neurodivergents may have psychic,mystical,and shamanic experiences, but they keep them to themselves to avoid the psychotic,schizophrenic diagnosis.

DNA group now has over 800 members in less than 4 months that it was created. It was reached before this month ended. Target date was by the end of the month. We reached it before the end of the 3rd week! Next goal is 900 members by the end of next month.
