Here's a posting that might be of interest to UK folks who are able to manage
social events. Sounds challenging to me. -Zer
-------------------------------------
DANDA - the Developmental Adult Neuro-Diversity Association has been set up for
people with Dyspraxia, Asperger's Syndrome, AD(H)D and other related conditions
such as dyslexia and dyscalculia. DANDA became a registered charity in December
2003 - No 1101323. DANDA is run by adults with one or more of these
conditions, thus following the Madrid declaration of 2001, which stated that no
decisions about the disabled should be taken without their active involvement -
'Nothing about us without us'. DANDA has grown out of the Dyspraxia Foundation
Adult Support Group, as it became clear that most people connected to the Group
did not have Dyspraxia alone. Most, in fact, had AD(H)D (Attention Deficit
(Hyperactivity) Disorder, Asperger's Syndrome or dyslexia as well. It was the
norm rather than the exception. However, more and more people wanted to know
more about the other conditions they had, especially those with Asperger's and
AD(H)D. Many dyspraxics in fact joined groups for adults with Asperger's
Syndrome, but very few are run by Asperger's adults themselves in the UK; and
there are very few established AD(H)D groups, just for adults, here, either.
