If becoming Indigo is the next stage of evolution, I don't want any part of it. I feel alienated enough without being literally blue.

It's both blue and violet. Or somewhere in between them, anyways.

I am not going to sit and argue with you trapped

you want to believe your defective because a bunch of doctors said so thats your choice. you;re entitled to your beleifs. The medical and psychology is always evolving so one of these I days i beleive aspergers syndrome won't even exist in the DSM-IV.

I think aspies and Indigo children are the next step in evolution, it represents change, and throughout history it has been proven that humans tend to resist and fear change so instead of praising and accpeting these children they label them with things like aspergers syndrome and ADHD to make themselves feel secure. Plus dcotors can profit off of "treating" these labels.

Jman, you seem to be the only one around here that equates Asperger's Syndrome with defective. I just view myself as different. In-fact, once I discovered Asperger's, I felt less defective, because I had a reason for being the way I am, and I also discovered that others like me have in-fact been successful. If you feel defective because you have AS, then that is your own problem, but don't think that we're all a bunch of defective aspies just because you think you are.

Yes, there is a chance it will be merged with HFA, doesn't mean we don't have it (or the new HFA). As for Indigo Children, once they have ripped off enough suckers that the well runs dry, the "leaders" of this cult will disappear faster than you could possibly know. Like I said, this is no different than Amway. Amway preys on unhappy workers and tricks them into thinking that they can become rich like every other IBO, when in-fact, most IBO's actually lose money (some have even gone bankrupt). The "leaders" end up making more money from "motivational materials, conferences, etc" than they do from actually getting people to sell product. They prey on peoples' insecurities. In the case of the Indigo Children, they prey on children and adults who feel like outcasts, have AS/Autism, or other problems, and trick them into thinking they are the going to change the world, which is hogwash. We're neurologically different, but we're not an entirely new race for crying out loud. While some of us may make a different, not all of us will, and that is the exact same as NT's. We're all different. Oh, but of course, the Indigo Children can't do this unless they get that $50 video, that $20 book, go to the occasional $300 conference, every now and again a $150 internet course. Just like Amway, they are preying on peoples' insecurities and problems, and getting rich in the process. I've been taken advantage of enough in my life, I'd rather not sit there and let someone screw me out of all of my money, thanks.

Talk about irony, you must be the most gullible aspie around if you believe these cult leaders aren't making money, but doctors are. Do Doctors make money? Yes. Guess what? Dentists make more money, are you going to now tell me that they trick people into thinking they need care when they really don't? I don't fear change, but I do fear being taken advantage of. If you enjoy it, have at er! At least Doctor's have some semblence of rational thought and know how to do research, instead of spending all of their time talking to spiritual entities and selling crap people don't need.

That's the end of my rant. I'm going to end by saying I'm not defective, Asperger's doesn't equate to defective, and a lot of other people don't need to buy this load of crap to make themselves feel better, but if you do, I do feel for you.

I would much rather know that my neurology is slightly different to that of the "healthy" masses than consider myself an indigo child.

To me the whole indigo child thing just seems like a bunch of people can't cope with their kids being neurodiverse, and some other people who have raised a bunch of brats, finding solace in some new age twaddle, trying to make out their kids are somehow better than other people's kids.

There is no shame in being neurodiverse. Different =/= broken. There is increasing scientific evidence that our brains are wired up slightly differently to those of most other people's. I have a real problem with a theory developed by someone claiming they received the knowledhe via a spiritual medium.

This response is typed whilst I grit my teeth because I find the concept of indigo children both nauseating and infuriating.

Well, I'm firmly with the majority here. (BTW, good on you, Mish, Krex, Paula! )

For me
1. AS is a delightfully different brain type
2. AS is firmly physiologically, not new-agey cosmologically, based
3. AS does NOT = defective

There's a speculation that I don't think others have made about 'indigo' people. What if this apparent upsurge in bolshie, smart, 'aware' people is just an inevitable reflection of much improved nutrition and childcare over the last 4 or 5 decades?

In other words, there's a sound, earth-bound, Occam's Razor reason for this apparent phenomenon. 'Cosmic' forces may be involved loosely speaking in so far as the earth is part of the cosmos and thus ALL its inhabitants and their evolutions are subject to universal and local effects to varying degrees - but not in the way that Cult Indigo wants us buy!

About half of that list looked really familiar.

Just thinking... It's an aspie trait to take everything seriously, right?

Maybe that stuff is real for the people who write it, but to us sane folks, it's just entertainment. Like that computer game Fahrenheit (thought of it because one of the characters is in fact the Indigo Child). I mean, it's fun to visit a parallel world like that every now and then.
Anyone else feel that way? Or am I just insane? :lol:

WEll I for one feel relieved to know that as we aspies progress to ever and greater heights as the mostly highly evolved people on the planet we'll be fashionably color co-ordinated. Indigo is really in right now, as are all dark, rich colors, and hey, we won't even need to accessorize now because our entire beings will match the color of our ceramic ware. Think about it. As Martha Stewart would say, 'It's a Good Thing'.
