I saw someone on gaia talking about how they were an Indigo child, so I searched into it, this is what I found:
Indigo children refers to a New Age belief that some children, especially those born after the late 1970s, represent a higher state of human evolution. The term itself is a reference to the belief that such children have an indigo colored aura. Beliefs concerning the exact nature of Indigo children vary, with some believing that they have paranormal abilities such as the ability to read minds, and others that they are distinguished from non-Indigo children merely by more conventional traits such as increased empathy and creativity.
Origins
The term Indigo children originates from the 1982 book "Understanding Your Life Through Color," by Nancy Ann Tappe, a self-styled synesthete and psychic, who claimed to possess the ability to perceive people's auras. She wrote that during the late 1970s she began noticing that many children were being born with "indigo" auras. Today, she estimates that 60 percent of people age 14 to 25 and 97 percent of children under ten are "Indigo."
The idea of Indigo children was later popularized by the 1998 book The Indigo Children: The New Kids Have Arrived, written by the husband-and-wife team of Lee Carroll and Jan Tober. According to Carroll he learned about the concept of indigo children while channeling a being known as Kryon, Master angelic energy. Tober has said that she and Carroll do not talk much about Kryon in interviews because they see this as being a potential barrier to them reaching out to mainstream audiences that exist outside of the New Age movement.
Characteristics and beliefs
According to New Age belief, Indigo children are highly sensitive with a clear sense of self-definition and a strong feeling that they need to make a significant difference in the world. They are strong-willed, independent thinkers who prefer to do their own thing rather than comply with authority figures. They are empathic and can easily detect or are in tune with the thoughts of others, and are naturally drawn to matters concerning mysteries, spirituality, the paranormal and the occult, while opposing unquestioned authority and contradictory to convention. They allegedly possess wisdom and level of awareness "beyond their years." They are also said to feel a strong sense of entitlement.
Some beliefs hold that they are often labeled with the psychiatric diagnoses of Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and also Autism, and that they become unsociable when not around other Indigo Children. They are also believed to be prone to depression and sleep disorders such as insomnia and persistent nightmares.[citation needed] Indigo children also possess defining characteristics in learning; indigos tend to be more visual, kinesthetic learners so remember best what they can picture in their brain and create with their hands.[citation needed] Movement is required to keep them better focused.
I was wondering if I might be an Indigo Child as well.
Reasons why:
_they have phychic abilities(yes)
_they can read minds, they also have increased empathy and creativity(yes and I think have some empathy)
_they are highly sensitive, they have a clear sense of self-definition, strong feeling that they need to make a significant difference in the world, strong-willed, independent thinkers, they prefer to do their own thing rather than comply with authority figures(yes,yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes)
_they are empathic and can easily detect or are in tune with the thoughts of others(95% yes)
_they are naturally drawn to matters concerning mysteries, spirituality, the paranormal and the occult(yes)
_they feel a sense of entitlement(yes)
_hae been diagnosed with ADHD, ADD, OCD, or autism(I am diagnosed with ADD but before that I was diagnosed with ADHD, 110% yes)
_they become unsociable when not around other Indigo Children(I'm not sociable with my friends or anyone because I feel they are not like me, mabey)
_they are also believed to be prone to depression and sleep disorders such as insomnia and persistent nightmares(I have depressiion, it's very very hard for me to get to sleep, yes)
_they tend to be more visual, kinesthetic learners(when I was 4 I could do 100 peice puzzles without looking at the picture of the puzzle, so that's a yes for sure)
Does this mean that I'm an Indigo Child, is there any way to tell for sure?

psychic_pandas hey u make sure 2 keep me posted on this, i feel i've always felt differnt than everyone else around me, now it seems that this would b the reason why, i've always been an outsider so this would make since Same here, like I don't belong here and that I should keep being this way, also it would explain why I want to change the world, and why I have been more rebelious, I used to love everything and thank people for things, now I don't. I think that was because back then I was a Crystal Child. Now that I'm changed, I'm an Indigo Child(I think). Here are four sites. http://www.indigodreams.net/?source=overture&OVRAW=Indigo Book and Music&OVKEY=indigo and&OVMTC=advanced&OVADID=2010875021&OVKWID=18957572021when you do those see what feelings you get, see if they are the same as the Indigo Children. http://www.indigodreams.net/IsYourChildanIndigo.htmThat's a quiz. http://www.namastecafe.com/evolution/indigo/Go there if you would like to learn more. http://www.starchild.co.za/what.htmlYou must read this, it is all about indigo children.

Indigo ChildOkay. Here you go read the rest for yourself. I personally don't think any child should be on meds for ADD or ADHD. I personally would look at the childs diet and the childs way of living. Do the parents fight all the time? Does the child lack love and understanding? Is the child negelected in any way? Is the child abused more metally than phsyically? This could be just a cry for help. Labels are for soup cans. Not for people. Stop labeling humans and start listening to the problem. The term "Indigo Child" comes from psychic and synesthete Nancy Ann Tappe, who classified people's personalities according to the hue of their auras. One thesis of The Indigo Children seems to be that many children diagnosed as having attention deficit disorder (ADD) or ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) represent "a new kind of evolution of humanity."* These children don't need drugs like Ritalin, but special care and training. how to recognize the Indigo Child * They come into the world with a feeling of royalty (and often act like it) * They have a feeling of "deserving to be here," and are surprised when others don't share that. * Self-worth is not a big issue. They often tell the parents "who they are." * They have difficulty with absolute authority (authority without explanation or choice). * They simply will not do certain things; for example, waiting in line is difficult for them. * They get frustrated with systems that are ritually oriented and don't require creative thought. * They often see better ways of doing things, both at home and in school, which makes them seem like "system busters" (nonconforming to any system). * They seem antisocial unless they are with their own kind. If there are no others of like consciousness around them, they often turn inward, feeling like no other human understands them. School is often extremely difficult for them socially. * They will not respond to "guilt" discipline ("Wait till your father gets home and finds out what you did"). * They are not shy in letting you know what they need. One can understand why many parents would not want their child to be labeled as ADD or ADHD. The label implies imperfection. Some may even take it to mean the child is "damaged." Specifically, it means your child's behavior is due to a neuro-biological condition. To some, this is the same as having a malfunctioning brain or a mental disorder. Understandably, emotions run high here. Treatment of children with problems is a hot button issue for the mass media, attack lawyers, talk show hosts, columnists, and others not known for their role in clarifying complicated scientific or medical matters. Many jump on the bandwagon and attack the drug industry and psychiatrists for overdrugging our children. Opposition is fruitless, because few will listen to those who would defend those who “abuse” children. Fewer still will bother to investigate to see whether the critics know what they are talking about.

Fewer still will bother to investigate to see whether the critics know what they are talking about. Thanks for the thing about ADD and ADHD, I'm glad you feel this way. I have previously stopped taking my medication, I think it's disrupting me from the inside, it doesn't feel good, this is the second day without it. I'm good at faking sweatdrop .

I feel much much better now, I don't feel horrible anymore. I'm never taking those pills again, that's for sure. God it felt like they were destroying me, so glad I stop taking them, but *giggles* my parents are so dumb that they don't even realize that I don't take them anymore, funny thing. Anyways I'll start meditating tonight, oh mabey this will work for you: if you put your hands on your lap while you're meditating it makes you feel so so sooo much better.
