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.
