Foundations for Divergent Minds

This is a time of great uncertainty, but we all must do our part to preserve our place in our communities. divergentminds.org/donate.html

But it is important we try so that as things change and move back down to community level there is something for all of us. We invite you, if you can, to donate to FDM as we continue to pursue this. If successful, we will provide you all with updates and what we have laid out.

This Disability Pride Month comes at a difficult time for our community and the broader population. As we watch what is happening to special education, Medicaid, SNAP, safety nets that ensure Autistic and other neurodivergent people, it be can hard to feel pride in our disability

FDM is seeking to contract with a Texas educator to ensure our project embeds classroom experience. The educator will create scenarios and ensure measurable progress a new e-learning course. Full details at: divergentminds.org/jobs.html

It's been 30 years since the Neurodiversity movement began, but our history? It’s scattered—spread across the internet, lost to defunct websites, and held in the memories of those who were there. herding-cats-by-fdm.captivate.fm
