Indigo children is a bunch of BS... Aspergers Syndrome is based in neurology not some new-age stupidity.

That time of the month, is it? :wink:



I've wondered about this. The description on the website is like a zodiac sign description--pretty broad, and difficult to apply to any meaningful test.

Nevertheless, most aspies I've met or talked to believed there was more to their status than broken neurology. I know for myself that's true, and I have the unique experience of being tested in that regard to prove it.

If we're special people rather than just "special", good for us!

It lost me the exact second I read the word empathy. I would also suggest that you never post something this stupid again lest the response be much angrier.

I seem to have alot of traits described on the site

why don;t you guys buy into that?

Wouldn't you rather be seen to have psychic abilties that could change the world or would you guys rather have a disparaging label like aspergers syndrome stuck to you? :roll:

I'm sorry, but I'd prefer to believe something that has been carefully researched as opposed to something discovered "via conversations with a spiritual entity known as 'Kryon'".

No, I just don't want to be seen as even more of a wackjob once people find out I believe I have a "condition" that was discovered by having some woman talk to a spiritual entity. I thought aspies were supposed to think rationally....

Show me a little bit more proof than psychic visions, and maybe I'll start to buy into it. As of right now, it looks like nothing more than a cult to me. It even has the spiritual figureheads getting rich at the expense of the people who buy into it....almost like the spiritual version of Amway.

"... The Inter-dimensional ..."
"... the 3 dimensional frame of society ..."
"... accept them as multidimensional beings ..."
"... higher-dimensional information ..."

:lol:

I don't think they understand the actual meaning of the word dimension. There's really nothing special about extra spatial dimensions, they're just extra space requiring extra variables to define a point in said space.

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.

Now now, I never said I thought we were "defective" (nor did anyone else in the thread). I simply said that, along with the other posters, I don't believe I'm magic. I don't consider aspergers a defect or flaw, rather a difference, neurodiversity as it is often termed.

P.S. From Mirriam-Webster's online dictionary.
Label as a noun: "3c : a descriptive or identifying word or phrase ..."
Label as a verb: "1b : to describe or designate with or as if with a label"
How is indigo child any less of a label than aspergers. A label is not inherently derisory.
