Lately I have been researching different types of psychic or telepathic children when I bumped in to The Indigo Children.  Currently I am facinated by them.   what do you think about them? And are there any Indigo Adults here?  Do you have any information on them or links?

It stinks of Newage claptrap to me, and a convenient excuse to allow children to run amok, undisciplined.  All of the people I've met claiming to have "indigo children" are lousy parents.  There may be exceptions, but I haven't met them.

This matches my experience -- and I have not seen any exceptions either.

[pheonixofthefire1]

Yeah, I can see that, I know of a few who are diagnosed adhd.  What about the teens or young adults have you met any I just found them on youtube.  And one of the adults seemed like she was on a serious tweek-a-thon for days, she was flyin' high with Crystal.  Trust me I know a tweeker when I see one. 

This matches my experience -- and I have not seen any exceptions either.

Don't get me started on that Indigo thing.
Such a 'nuage' ....crap.
(Prove me otherwise, I'm with yewberry. It is a welcome excuse for having a difficult child one can't manage.)

Sorry. But I've read a bit about the 'symptoms' of those special Indigo children.
There is nothing special. It is about 'making special'.

Some people just jump on every possibility to find an excuse for a bad behaviour and make it special too at the same time.

Oh and because people are to buy more books, it is now not Indigo anymore, it's Crystal Children.
That was the dernier cri I know about.

(Can you tell, that this is a pet peeve of mine  )

And because you asked for information, I have a few bits:

The term was coined by Nancy Anne Trappe, she claimed that in the 80's a lot of children with an indigo colored aura were born.
Conveniently the symptoms of adhd and of being 'indigo' are very similar.

Other most 'surprising' signs are the handling of computers (gosh, who would've thought that a child that grows up with the technology can handle it?), trouble to follow instructions when they don't see the reason (well, that makes every three-year-old who don't want to brush teeth indigo, doesn't it?), a strong feeling of who they are - let's call it ego then - and trouble with autorities - surprising.

They have of course a lot of wisdom already and tell about it - I believe this once was called precocious not indigo.

Well, no, I'm not impressed, nor convinced. It is just a newage, esoteric fashion.

Yeah, there are some farfeched ideas, I heard something about a star family.  And they are always predicting earthquakes that seldomly happen.  Idk, I love to take on projects, but sometimes its not worth the time.  Im gonna in other directions for my research.  Thanks a bundled

Hey, my oldest son is an old soul and an indigo at the same time.  the symptoms also can encompass autism.  But right now I can tell you which label is getting him more help to be able to cope with the world we live in.

I'm not going to argue with you because I neither know you, nor your son personally.
What I do know is, that nobody I came across could convince me so far.

For me it is not logical. The symptoms are so vague (or cover the diseases mentioned) that you can fit every child into it, if you want to. I don't see what advantage it is to label your son indigo, but if it does help you or him, that's fine.

I don't need to fight about this, but I just won't believe in it either.

[Tana]

I've re-read my post and the thought came to my mind that it might sound condescending.
This is not my intention. It is a bit late and I probably should've rephrased it.

So before a misunderstanding occurs let me clarify a bit please

I'm annoyed by the Indigo children concept, because I think it is a newage fashion.
I've met people who did nothing to convince me otherwise - so I have no reason to believe in it at all.

If this concept is of importance to somebody I don't know personally, I have neither the right nor the possibility to judge its value for that person. (Thus my not-argue-don't-fight point )

My rant is against the concept itself, not against each and every person on the face of the earth who might believe in it, that would be not right.

So, now I feel better

I think (correct me if I'm wrong!) that what Mandrina's saying is that her son falls into the indigo child "classification" - but what he is is autistic, and knowing that is what actually gets him useful help.

That's actually how I read it as well, mainly because of things she said on other threads.

Heh, as it turns out I was actually spending some thought on this Today. Writing in a journal, making a list of specific topics for discussion. I am somewhat on the fence about the label.

What I will offer is only a cent worth. *heh* Since it just touches the topic of Indigo Children.

What I Journaled for discussion with those I correspond with... *haven't sent it out yet*

"There is much to say… past all this Mundane that I have listed. There is also a physical change taking place to humans as a race/species in itself. Our DNA is changing. Our current Energy centres *chakras* are also changing and 3 more grow within adult and child. A reset of the circuitry of the brain and neurological system, doctors/science cannot explain this and is hushed. In 1950 Doctors Watson and Crick discovered of our DNA double helix, a Third strand put off as protein detritus left over. By 1980 genetic researchers saw that the 3rd strand was starting to connect to the four ladders inside the double helix.
We are all going through this change. There are children already born with activated 3rd strands. Perhaps labeled Indigo Children and Star Children? The 1990’s more have been observed world-wide. A meeting in Mexico City in 1995, by geneticists to discuss this secret. Adults globally were seen, their 3rd stand in the preliminary stages of reconnecting to the 4 ladders or the RNA/DNA double helix. This conference debated whether to give false information and conceal this “problem”.
I have read many geneticists saw this as a global catastrophe rather than the ever-evolving integration of body, mind and spirit. Chemical reactions and genetic codes as well as gene structures are coming on-line."

Take what you will from these thoughts.

OOoooookay.  There are so many weirdnesses there.

Especially that third strand of DNA.  that just doesn't WORK.  They originally thought it was a triple helix and had to rethink their theories to two because three didn't WORK.

Seriously, this looks like weird conspiracy theory all over.

No, and if there were some third strand that had been missed, it would not be discussed in secret meetings to decide whether to announce it, papers would be flying to publishers in the hope being the ones to get credit for it -- as a discovery like that would MAKE careers and possibily be Nobel prize material.
