I try to remain open minded about it. The description fits me to a tee, but then it would fit most strong-willed children that have a hard time fitting in. Still, I very much like the idea that my purpose for being here is to change the world.

| You know what's interesting? In the Indigo Children books that were written years ago, they predicted a massive rise in Autism/ADD etc as more of these Indigoes and Crystals arrived. And...well there has been a massive rise in them. |

Hmmm.
You know, every living creature represents 'the next step in evolution'. By definition. There is nothing to see here folks. Move along.

Some of my blood comes from the Blackfeet Reservation, which has a definite belief in psychic phenomena. Pretty much all Native American tribes still believe that psychic people exist, and some of the members among them are supposedly healers a.k.a. medicine men.

Like all questions on spirituality in the age of reason: Yes and No, just not in the same sense at the same time.
"Yes" in that ADD/ADHD and AS/HFA are both evolutions that exist in the so-called new age. Previously undesirable, these neuromodifieds are now capable of performing specialized roles that neurotypicals can only sit and watch.
"No" in that New Agery and Crystal Visions and Aura Readings are 90% equine hooey and 10% all in my head. Mostly an attempt to generate money from the easily confused, a role once reserved for pre-Renaissance belief systems.
  Right and wrong are just words. What matters is what you do.

Interesting yet I disagree that I am the "next step in human development."
We are what we are, and we do not need to be defined by anyone except ourselves.

I believe in "psychic abilities". Think about it...do animals appear to be, at times "psychic"? Do they really have knowledge obtained a priori seemingly out of thin air or is it more about highly developed areas of the animal's brain becoming active, using neurons, neurotransmitters, senses like smell, sight or hearing, to put together a complicated picture very quickly inside the animal's mind so that it has time to react very early thus appearing to be "psychic".
This could be the foundation of intuition in the human brain as well, nothing supernatural about it. |

|
|
My 4 year old son has just been diagnosed with Autism.
I had never heard of Indigo Children, until I was having coffee with a spiritual friend, who believes my son is an Indigo Child. The reason being, there have been un explained things happen since his birth.
As a baby, he was a very quite child, who did not giggle or babble as much as other children his age would. I put this down to a developmental issue. However, in our old house, he used to look to a particular corner of the room and giggle randomly. It was as though something was going on in the corner, that we could not see. On one occasion, we had told my very sceptical dad about his behaviour, to which he picked my son up to take him to the corner of the room, to see if he would get the same reaction, which he did. My 11 year old daughter took a picture of my dad holding my son and when looking at the picture later, it was smothered in orbs. I had never seen anything like it, it was as though they subject had had snow thrown into the picture. Subsequent pictures in the room, away from the corner had nothing on them.
Soon after our son was born, we used to get red crayon scribbles on our tiled floor. We tested our hoover, sweeping brush and mop, to see if these could be the cause of the scribbles, but it was not the case. Although I doubted it would be down to them, as these were scribbles, not long stroke marks and it was definitely crayon, rather than a scuff mark. We also did not have any crayons in the house, as my daughters were older and no longer used them. The squiggles would appear out of the blue and sometimes when I was in alone with my son.
A year before my sons birth, I lost a baby in a miscarriage and I had always wondered if perhaps the baby had come back to play. I know this may sound ridiculous and it may seem like I am hoping this was the case, but it does beg the question.
Recently we were filming my son, playing and dancing in the living room. There were several people around, all enjoying my son dancing and we were cheering him on as he enjoyed the attention. Whilst filming him, there was a light dancing around the room. This light then scooped in towards the camera. I have loaded this onto YouTube, to see if someone can provide an explanation, as we have tried all theories and nothing works. This is one of 4 videos taken, all of which have this darting light. The video can be viewed on YouTube under the heading: Child dancing, with what appears to be a white light or orb dancing around him.
It does make me wonder, does my son have abilities and unexplained energy around him, that we do not see. Could this be causing his Autism? He does sleep walk and loves to sleep in the living room, does he sense something in the room I wonder? I would love to hear from anyone who could help with an explanation or at least confirm, is he an Indigo Child? |

| I don't know. Aren't all Aspies supposed to be different? I mean, I do care about people to an extent but I don't think my empathy, emotion or anything is higher than others, if anything it's probably lower. I have some empathy and emotion but it's definitely not heightened. My emotions can get heightened at the wrong times which lead to outbursts. I wouldn't be surprised if it's something that parents came out with to take away the opinion that Aspies have no emotion. "Indigo Children"? There's no need to glamorize it up people, instead of coming up with some nonsense label why not just get it out to everybody that Aspies do have emotions and empathy, talk about how we think differently and go into depth about that instead. |

Indigo children is one of the creepiest widespread myths I have heard about autism

I have to agree with many and say this sounds like New Agey BS.
Also the description of the indigo children couldn't contrast more starkly with some aspects of AS. Spiritual, emotional, empathic ... some aspies are like this but many are more Spock-like and couldn't possibly be less like the description of indigo children. |

This psychic ability sounds like theory of mind, or that we instinctively know what another is thinking or feeling. I find this an odd trait to be ascribed to those living on the Autism Spectrum.
There are some people who are extraordinarily empathic, considerate and kind. This sounds more like Mother Theresa, just about as saintly as any human could get.
It must be very uncomfortable to be so sensitive, and I do not think this is Aspie. |
It is uncomfortable to be so sensative....maybe not an aspie thing but I am that sensitive and can feel emotions from others.

Maybe its marketed by parents who wish the narcissistic public would quit calling their children names like 'spoiled brat.' whenever they fail to act 'normal.' or get upset and cry like kids even the normal ones do.

The theory of natural selection sais, that today's ugly duckling, is tomorrows beautiful swan. It always start with a mutant, that he end up being the norm in the end. The future of human evolution is among its mutants, not the normals.
The mutants that will succeed usually look weaker then the norm, because they have an obfuscated new advantage that outweights the cost of there new phenotype. Any new mutation can have at best a relative advantage, not an absolute one. If mutants could appear with absolute advantages, then why they didn't appear earlier?
So the next step in human evolution is certainly classed as a developmental disorder. The only question that remains. Who among all the developmental disorders has a relative advantage against the normals?
The indigo children concept, is a bit exaggerated. But in essence there's truth in it.
Unless you people wish that our evolution has finished for ever and ever. I don't think this is politically incorrect.

Autism is not the next step in evolution. There are no steps anyway
