Description:

This one's about neurodiversity. Again, a long lecture, so only watch if you are interested. Is things such as ADHD, autism or dyslexia a neurological disorder, or is it just diversity in life? Should they be treated as diseases, and should they be cured? Is homosexuality a mental illness? Do we have a right to make decisions about changing other people's behaviours, and so called curing them? A.D.D is a gift, not a disorder: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5urmUKSdo8M LINKS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurodiversity - start here for easy and quick info. http://www.neurodiversity.com - tonnes of info here and links to books about various issues. http://community.livejournal.com/neurodiversity/ - LJ community. http://www.cureautismnow.org - austism needs to be cured.

ADD is the politcally correct way of saying enthusiastic ignorace [the learned state of ignoring needs, dependencies and facial expressions; those of others and/or your own ]. Then the dogs have an excuse to drug you with all kinds of speed. Cause just as the kid's body starts to adjust to all the chemical chaos, it's time to try new types of speed (e.g. ritian, cylert, desoxyn, etc.) The child can't possibly be bored in class hearing the same shit over and over and over and over and over

I love this video. I'm glad that there are other ppl trying to at least get a dialog going about the differences and similarities between disease and disorder, ECT.. Terminology is one of our biggest hurdles.

We will increase our numbers and advancing by assimilating other species and their technologies. Resistance is futile.

I like your views on neuro diversity- I personally have no issues about my autism. Sure, I get stuff like sensory overload and find communication quite uncomfortable but I like it otherwise. I am going to do a psycology course in my last year of school (even if I want to be a movie maker).
